Looking for the Lowest Cost on Quality Probe Tips?

 At The Micromanipulator Company, we know that probe tips are a common consumable necessary for the analytical probing of many products, which is why we design our tips to meet virtually any test specification.  As Micromanipulator’s tips are used in Failure Analysis, Product Development, and Research Departments, we want to reward our customers with a great deal when they buy in bulk.  However our unique promotional plan allows you to avail yourself of the same great discount whether you receive your probe tips all at once or buy as needed throughout the year.  

To get an idea of how many tips you buy each year, we suggest you search your records for past purchases of probe tips, probe needles, or probe pins to see what kind of savings your company would realize by consolidating these purchases.  Then it is up to you to either buy them in bulk or to simply submit a blanket purchase order that covers a one-year term and order smaller quantities throughout the year at the discounted price.  

One of our most popular choices is the Tungsten Model 7B designed for general probing purposes.  Made from a single piece of tungsten wire, it has a 20mil (05mm) diameter and an overall length of 1.4 inch (35.5mm).  It is also available in gold plating as well as a larger tip radius.  Since the probe tip is made from pure tungsten, which is relatively hard and stiff, and therefore not easy to cut or bend, we recommend ordering the 7G if you require a shorter probe.  Standard price for the 7B is $105 for a box of ten probe tips.  Once you commit to a bulk order, your price goes down to $75 for 25+ boxes to as low as $60 for an order of 100 boxes or more.  The following type of discounts is available with our other models including the 7A, 7S, 7X, 7H and more.

Take a Look at Our Patented 2210-LS

 When you visit The Micromanipulator Company’s LinkedIn page, you will find a video of our state-of-the-art 2210-LS Application Board Probe Station.  As the world’s most versatile probe station, the patented 2210 is a micron level probe station designed for testing application boards, chips or individual die with temperature.  In addition it can be used just as easily to test traditional wafers.  

By marrying the probe station to an application board, benefits include high magnification imaging, high resolution probe placement and temperature capability.  Its flexible design allows you to customize your station for most any analytical probing scenario such as double-sided probing, magnetic stimulation and atmospheric as well as high voltage and high frequency.  

The 2210’s two stainless steel platens glide easily toward your sample and are simply locked into place during testing.  Along with accommodating vacuum or magnetic probe positioners, it offers easy access to cable connectors for ideal data acquisition.  The built-in vibration isolation ensures your data is not wrongly influenced.  

Users will also appreciate the intuitive sample window that lets you change your test area while maintaining the dark and dry environment even while testing below ambient.   The microscope has the same ease of movement as it travels the entire sample area.  Moreover if you need dual sided visualizing and probing, just ask and we can help you.  

The model 2210-LS additionally offers a patented thermal chamber, which envelops your device with precision; and lets you test in its complete operational mode.   While we offer an 18” x 18” thermal chamber with temperature ranges from -40°C to 125°C, if your needs extend beyond these parameters, let us know as we are happy to discuss other solutions.  Please visit our website to learn more about the 2210-LS Model as well our other high-quality probe stations, chucks, probe holders and tips, probe positioners and more.

Our Website Offers Lots of Resources Including Informative Application Notes

 

The Micromanipulator Company brings decades of experience to the designing, engineering and manufacturing of a wide range of state-of-the-art tools.  Our team is also just as committed to providing real solutions and helpful tips to common problems encountered by our customers to ensure their success in effectively using the products.  One example of the excellent resources available on our website is our Application Notes that include helpful tips and suggestions for: 

• CV Probing
• Identifying Low Current Probing Problems
• LCR Measurements With 4284A
• Low Current Probing Basics
• LTE and Vibration Isolation Table Integration
• Proven Techniques for Thermal Probing   

You will find inside our “Identifying Low Current Probing Problems” Application Note the reassurance that when you use the right tools and the proper setup, analytical probing at very low (femtoamp) current levels can be achieved reliably and without anxiety.  We explain how common equipment and setup problems can show up as characteristic distortions as well as create problem “signatures” with the data.  We also believe that many of the problems users encounter stem from the fact that up to now there has been very little information available on how to properly evaluate equipment as well as how to setup the probing application.  Because of this, it has led to a misunderstanding of the effect this has on low current probing, and confusion in how to troubleshooting the problem.  

Please visit our website to read through our various Application Notes for troubleshooting suggestions, tips, and useful information to help you succeed.  If you have specific questions about your application, please contact us to talk to one of our knowledgeable engineers.  While on our website, browse through our large inventory of probe stations, thermal chucks, probe tips, probe positioners/manipulators, and more.
