Our Specialty Probe Stations


The Micromanipulator Company offers the industry’s widest range of probe stations as well as the most versatile - the patented 2210-LS Application Board Probe Station and the patented VERSA Modular Probe System. Both are designed to change into the probe system you need in any given moment and provide wafer level probe capability right through to board level testing to make post tape-out product testing easier than ever.

The Model 2210-LS is the world’s most versatile, true system probe station that offers above and below ambient temperature capabilities. The test board (application, system, development, etc.) compatible probe station provides state-of-the-art features that include: Probe decapsulated IC’s, wafers, and large boards, all at temperature; -40C to 125C configurable; Integrated vibration isolation platform; and Customization – such as: Double Sided Probing & Magnetic Stimulation. Users will love the fact that it lets you trace and analyze issues that manifest only in the actual end application environment faster, easier and with a whole lot less trouble than ever possible before. 

The newest Micromanipulator addition to our specialty probe stations is the VERSA Modular Probe System, which is based on the versatility of the 2210LS. Features include customized thermal options, hot and cold (frost free), and an integrated vibration isolation platform. It also can be used as an optical inspection platform. The modular design allows for all device testing including: Backside & Double Sided; High-power, DC, high frequency, & mmW; High-speed signal acquisition; and Test wafers, boards, pieces, packaged parts, & individual die, all at temperatures.

We encourage you to take a look at our website to see the complete specifications and details regarding these two exceptional examples of Micromanipulator’s innovation and expertise. In addition as we continue to develop new products, we have probe stations for virtually any testing application. Also check out our excellent selection of accessories and consumables including thermal chucks, holders, probe positioners and more. 

Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we are leaders in the field and reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semi-conductor industry depends on. Our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to our customers’ satisfaction. For one of the most comprehensive selections of probe stations, probe holders & tips, thermal chucks, and probe positioners on the market, please see our website.

When You Buy from Us, It is a Long-term Relationship

Our 60+ years in the industry, means we have learned a thing or two about analytical probing. We attribute our longevity and success to the fact that our experienced team is focused on designing the tools customers need, and then backing it up with the service and support to ensure their success. 

In terms of probe stations, we offer an exceptional selection of specialty semiautomatic, motorized and manual models. Once you settle on a particular one, we can help you outfit it with high-quality accessories and consumables, and if your needs change through time, we will be there to help you upgrade to the products you now require. For example our systems are flexible, such as the fact that our semiautomatic probe stations handle applications from Magnetic sensitivity testing to Probe cards, mmW, and Wafer & Board level testing. However once you have developed a testing plan and then discover you would do better with a fully automatic probe station we can help move you into one.

One example of the flexibility and reliability of our probe stations is the model P200L 200 mm semiautomatic, which has become the station of choice for test labs across the globe for its high performance, full capability and cost-effectiveness. It offers optional NETPROBE-7 control software with wafer map, integrated video, theta alignment, sub-die, and pattern recognition as well as drivers for popular testers companies such as Keysight, Keithley, and LabVIEW. The P200L is also configurable for DC, RF, Microwave, and High Power applications. 

In addition we invite you to check out our online store for many Micromanipulator and Mechatronics products that are available for immediate shipment. We also have sales reps available across the globe to help you put together a system specific to your application and budget. Contact us if you need more information regarding our semiautomatic, manual, and motorized probe stations as well as take a look at our thermal chucks, probe positioners and probe holders and tips designed for optimal performance. 

Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we remain the leading name in the field. As such we reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semiconductor industry depends on. As part of the company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to customers’ satisfaction. Please contact us to find out more about our exceptional line of probe stations, thermal chucks, probe holders & tips, probe positioners and more.

Take Advantage of Our Broad Scope of Expertise


At The Micromanipulator Company, we expertly provide the semiconductor industry with tools for virtually any application. This is accomplished by our talented team that has allowed us to develop such broad areas of expertise that include: 

  • Low current / low noise measurement
  • Failure Analysis
  • High and low temperature characterization
  • Device reliability analysis – Interconnect, EM, HCI, Charge Pumping, NBTI, PBTI, TDDB,
  • High speed digital analysis
  • High frequency up to 200GHz
  • C-V measurements
  • Sub-micron probing
  • ESD wafer level testing
  • Laser cutting
  • High power device analysis

Examples of our exclusive Micromanipulator products include the H1000 Series Thermal Chuck Systems that support wafer testing from -65 to 400C. These innovative chucks are available with a choice of heating power supply including a fast AC model for those who do not require a femtoamp level. Our DC choice is perfect for applications that need to achieve the very lowest level measurements. In addition our hot chucks support 150 to 300 mm wafer in coaxial or triaxial configurations. 

Another area where Micromanipulator excels is in our probe positioners / manipulators, which are designed to not only meet your application demands but personal preference and budget. Available in manual, motorized or programmable versions, Micromanipulator’s probe positioners are stabilized by a vacuum or magnetic base and used to support a probe holder. We pride ourselves on offering the market’s highest stability with features that include ergonomic designs and direct leadscrew lead nut drives. Also in order for other probe holder shank widths to be firmly attached to the manipulator, collet and collet shaft are used. For your convenience we include a collect shaft with our manipulators and applicable collets are included with our probe holders
