NanoTest™ Vantage™
Comprehensive Nanomechanical and Tribological Testing System
Advanced Environmental Control Options for Material Property Analysis

The NanoTest™ Vantage™ system offers a complete range of mechanical and tribological tests across multiple length scales in one flexible and user-friendly instrument.
With just one test platform a range of mechanical properties can be investigated, allowing a complete picture of material performance to be assembled.
The NanoTest™ Vantage™ is capable of the following test techniques. Each of these techniques can be performed across multiple force scales (nano and micro):
- Indentation (both quasi-static and dynamic)
- Impact and fatigue
- Scratch and friction
- Fretting and reciprocating wear
An integrated high magnification optical microscope allows precise test site selection. Additional imaging capabilities are available; (i) SPM / Nanopositioner, and, (ii) AFM.
A highly intuitive and simple-to-use software interface allows for short training times even to perform advanced measurement types.


Material properties can be strongly environment- dependent. The most common example is sample oxidation during high temperature tests, which may be mitigated using the gas purge chamber shown here.
The NanoTest™ Vantage™ can be configured with a wide range of control options to allow the study of material property dependence on environment, these include;
- High temperature to 850 °C
- Reduced oxygen/purged conditions
- Low temperature to -20 °C
- Sample and probe immersed in liquids
- Controlled humidity
