Cantions technology is based on integrated electronic readout. This technology is extremely robust and lends itself to incorporation in handheld devices suitable for use in a variety of high growth markets for detection in both liquids and gases.

Cantion has a history dating back to 1994 when the Technical University of Denmark's Mikroelektronik Centret initiated the development of an Atomic Force Microscopy probe with an integrated readout. The project also included development of cantilever-based biosensors. In 2001, the research project was ready for commercialization and together with the inventors, the NKT Group formed Cantion A/S. In 2003 Cantion succeeded, in a difficult financial market, in attracting an additional four investors and has today obtained significant financial backing (CAT Seed A/S, Incuba Ventures A/S, InnFond P/S, and the Danish Investment Fund).

"On 15 December 2005 : NanoNord A/S acquired all assets and material/immaterial rights from Cantion A/S."

DME - Danish Micro Engineering A/S was established in 1979 by Dr. Curt Sander as an engineering consultant company focussed on microprocessor technology and software. At that time, the new, upcoming information technology was slowly gaining influence on our everyday life. A lot of Danish companies rely on recognized the possibilities of the microprocessor technology, and DME helped Danish companies with the transition from the classic (mostly analog) electronics to the microprocessor technology and was then one of the most important consultant companies in this field. This long tradition for microprocessor technology in Denmark can still be seen today; when it comes to the extension of PCs, Denmark is number one in Europe and number two worldwide (Source: Daten zur Informationsgesellschaft, Bitkom 2006; vgl. auch Eurostat 2006), as regards internet usage, Denmark is leading in the world (Source: Bitkom 2005).

In this context, DME at the end of 1987 began developing the first SPM microscope, and shortly afterwards, the company delivered the first instrument of the TunnelScope® series, a series which in the early 1990'es was replaced by the Rasterscope™ and DualScope™ series. At this time, DME changed from a consultant company to a manufacturing copmpany with main focus on Scanning Probe Microscopy. The product series Rastersope™ and DualScope™ are steadily being further developed and supplemented and have from the last 20 years been the main business of DME. Thus, DME is one of the oldest manufacturers of AFM, STM, and SNOM equipment on the market. True to our origin, DME holds software as one of the main development items and not just as a "necessary evil" - an SPM microscope without software is just like a car without an engine.

Besides standard products, DME is also interested in development of new products of various kinds. Especially in connection with the Scanning Probe technology, through our experience and know-how, DME can show very short development times for new products - development times that are comparable to the delivery times for standard products from other manufacturers.

DME has a long tradition of producing user friendly instruments through an optimal interaction between hardware and software. Try for yourself - find a suitable sample of your own and book a time for a demonstration
