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.   


To learn more about our program, we encourage you to contact us by phone or use our email links on our website.  For more than 60+ years, we have used our extensive expertise to provide customers the products they need to succeed.  We look forward to hearing from you.  


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.  Need a probe holder, chuck, probe positioner, or tips?

Now that Micromanipulator has introduced our new brand, Mechatronics, customers have more choices than ever when it comes to buying probe stations, accessories and consumables.  Since the brands differ in performance and price, we thought it would be helpful to put together a “Compare Our Brands” chart to help you figure out which probe station brand would best fit your needs.

Looking at the chart, you can quickly see how the two brands differ and how they are alike.  For incidence, if you require 150mm wafer probing, you may want to consider one of our new Mechatronics Ace 150mm Manual Probe Station Preconfigured Systems.  For the first time, they allow budget conscious customers with basic probing needs to benefit from Micromanipulator’s decades of experience.  By offering a range of innovative features, they make probing in basic applications efficient and cost-effective.  The intuitive, easy-to-learn system also leverages the essential designs and expertise of Micromanipulator.

In addition the Mechatronics brand is designed so you are still able to configure your own station such as you can with a Micromanipulator one.  A Mechatronics Ace probe station gives you the option to choose from a wide range of accessories such as microscopes, manipulators, probe holders, and probe tips.  Furthermore if you already have the accessories you need, just order the Mechatronic probe station at its low price. 

If you need a higher performance, consider the Micromanipulator P300J (200mm-300mm) Motorized Manual Probe Station.  This is the highest performance, highest value 300mm analytical probe station available on the market today and has an upgradable platform and comprehensive accessory support.  The P300J comes standard with features such as single-point ground, dry/dark environment, and integrated thermal chuck plumbing. It is designed for low current, sub-micron positioning applications.

Please visit Micromanipulator’s website to learn about the world’s finest probe stations.  To buy quality accessories and consumables as well as Mechatronics products, use our convenient online store that now accepts worldwide orders.


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.

Use the Industry’s Most Reliable Accessories to Ensure Your Success


At Micromanipulator, we recognize that our success is based on the success of each and every one of our customers.  If you are not achieving optimal results when using our products, we want to know why not and how we can help you to accomplish it.  As an industry leader, we got here by not only developing the best products but by having a goal of 100% customer satisfaction.  Along with manufacturing the broadest range of probe stations on the market, we are also proud of our exceptional line of accessories.   

One of those smartly-designed accessories is our Light Tight Enclosure with Vibration Table.  The meticulously crafted tool allows the probe station to be supported on the vibration isolated surface while the light tight enclosure is mounted on a rigid surface of the table’s guard rails.  This feature provides the assurance that the floating vibration isolated surface is not disturbed when the Light Tight Enclosure (LTE) is opened.    

Micromanipulator’s proprietary assembly is easier for users to install as well as remove the probe station when finished.  The assembly consists of everything you need including the inner table, where your probe station is placed, and has extended legs which sit on the vibration isolated surface.  The assembly’s LTE’s access holes in the bottom plate have rubber “light shielding boots” that securely fit around the inner table legs in order to prevent any light leakage through the holes.   

In addition we design, engineer and manufacture other accessories including the exclusive H1000 series thermal chuck. The H100 not only offers the lowest cost of ownership available but leads the wafer probing industry by offering the best planarity and lowest noise.  Micromanipulator’s product line also includes microscopes, manipulators, and DC and RF measurement hardware.  Please visit our website for contact information and to learn more about our company and our products.   

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 our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to customers’ satisfaction.  We invite you to contact us to find out more about our wide range of probe stations, accessories and consumables.
