Powered by BiozNORCADA NanoPore Devices
NORCADA NanoPore-embedded devices (NTPR and NXPR) combine our membrane technology with our high-accuracy nanofabrication to provide you with a single pore in each device, as small as 3.0nm diameter. The devices are designed for Genomics, Proteomics and other nanopore applications, as well as 2D film characterization. NanoPore devices are available with a variety of customization options and additional features.
To ensure the quality of our NanoPore devices, we inspect every processing lot in TEM for quality, cleanliness, and accuracy. Every device is cleaned to semiconductor grade quality, and individually inspected with optical microscopy prior to cleanroom-packaging to ensure all devices are ready for your experiments.

Norcada NanoPore-Ready Devices
Our NanoPore-Ready platform offers a square silicon nitride membrane window at the centre of a 200µm-thick silicon frame. The low stress silicon nitride membrane (SiNx) is tailored to have a smooth surface finish, with more tightly controlled thickness compared to our microscopy membrane devices (NX or NT product lines). All devices are individually inspected before being packaged at Norcada.
Norcada’s controlled manufacturing, quality control and packaging processes make the devices more suitable for controlled dielectric break down, Helium/ Gallium Focused Ion Beam, TEM drilling, and other nanopore fabrication processes.
All of our NanoPore-ready products have been optimized for stability, reliability, and noise performance.
All NanoPore-Ready devices are available at three different Noise Levels, Standard Low Noise, Noise Reduction Layers, or Ultra-Low Noise. The Noise Reduction Layers are made of a variety of dielectrics built into the support frame. Please contact us for more information, or for help finding the right devices for your projects!
