On September 20, the opening ceremony of the 2022 World Manufacturing Convention was held in Hefei, China. At the opening ceremony, CIQTEK's self-developed Widefield NV Microscope was released to world, which is an advanced commercial precision measurement instrument based on diamond NV center technology. It has a wide application field in semiconductors, material science, geological science, cell magnetism, in vitro diagnostics, etc.         Conference Opening of World Manufacturing Congress 2022     Dr. He, Chairman of CIQTEK, introduced products to the visitors   CIQTEK Widefield NV Microscope is a magnetic microscope based on precision measurement technology. During the measurement process, the sample to be measured is pressed against the surface of the sensor, and the state is read out and manipulated by using the laser and microwave, which can realize quantitative and non-destructive microscopic magnetic imaging. It has the advantages of high spatial resolution, high sensitivity, non-invasive, large field of view, and fast imaging speed.    CIQTEK Widefield NV Microscope A wide range of application fields - to help the development of advanced manufacturing CIQTEK Widefield NV Microscope has a broad application in the field of advanced manufacturing. In the semiconductor industry, with the continuous breakthrough of advanced semiconductor process technology, the chip signal detection technology is difficult to adapt to the current low-current, densely arranged chip architecture, and the high-quality development of the chip industry has encountered serious challenges. The advantages of high resolution, high sensitivity, non-invasive, and low interference to near field of the Widefield NV Microscope, on the other hand, can meet the demand for functional inspection and failure analysis of chips.      Precision measurement technology based on NV center in diamonds   In the field of life science, it is difficult to explore the interaction of biological single molecules in high throughput by traditional means, and targeted drug development and disease diagnosis and treatment lack accurate single-molecule information support. CIQTEK Widefield NV Microscope can achieve high sensitivity, low background, high stability, and nondestructive detection of biomolecular interactions, and the detection sensitivity can reach a single molecule level, which largely makes up for the existing low abundance. It provides powerful technology for the study of biomolecular interactions and related high-sensitivity biomedical assays.   In addition, CIQTEK Widefield NV Microscope's ultra-high detection accuracy will help us explore more unknowns, help semiconductors, materials science, geological science, cell magnetism, in vitro diagnostics, and other fields of change development, to create a better future for mankind!

From July 25-29, the 11th National Conference on Environmental Chemistry (NCEC 2022) was held in Harbin, China. Nearly 5,000 experts in the field of environmental chemistry from Nanjing University, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and other universities and related research institutes gathered to discuss the development of environmental chemistry disciplines, promote academic research cooperation, and accelerate the construction of environmental chemistry disciplines and talent training.  CIQTEK attended this conference and introduced the solutions of electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR or ESR) spectroscopy in the field of environmental chemistry to the delegates.       CIQTEK Group Photo in NCEC 2022   With the theme of "Innovative Environmental Science" and the purpose of "Innovation, Participation, Cooperation and Foresight", this year's conference set up 58 sessions and various topics around different fields such as environmental analysis, public health, environmental safety, pollution control, green and low-carbon, including special sessions for major research programs of the Foundation, Young Scholars Forum and Frontier Forum of Environmental Science.   As one of the global crises, environmental pollution is affecting human life and health at all times. Among atmospheric pollutants, water pollutants, and soil pollutants, there is an emerging class of environmentally harmful substances - Environmentally Persistent Free Radicals (EPFRs). EPFRs are ubiquitous in the environment and can induce the generation of reactive oxide species (ROS), which cause cell and body damage and are one of the causes of cancer, and are highly biohazardous. EPR (ESR) technology can detect EPFRs and analyze them quantitatively to find the source of the hazard and solve the underlying problem.     Visitors at CIQTEK booth   NCEC 2022 Opening Ceremony   CIQTEK EPR (ESR) spectroscopy   The CIQTEK EPR (ESR) spectroscopy provides a non-destructive analytical method for the direct detection of paramagnetic materials.
