About us

A.P.E.Research (Applied Physics and Engineering Research) is an high tech company specialised in the production of advanced instrumentation in the field of NanoTechnologies: Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and high resolution nanopositioning systems. For these instruments our company is able to offer complete customization according to the sector in which these are to be used. This type of instrumentation addresses advanced users, such as Universities and research centres in several fields and disciplines: Material Science, Surface Science, Biology, Chemistry, Medicine.
The technological core business of A.P.E. Research is the development and production of SPM Microscopes like AFM, STM, SNOM. SPM microscopes are a class of instruments able to reconstruct the sub micrometric 3D morphology of sample surface, until distinguish the arrangement of the single molecules and atoms. These microscopes do not need vacuum ambient, they operate in air, or also in gaseous or liquid environments, and they do not require preliminary treatment of the samples; they are therefore also suitable for biological samples.
A.P.E. Research has its own laboratory, BioNanoLab, for measurements and research activity; moreover, the company is involved in several Italian, European and International research projects along with research institutes and Universities to develop new scanning probe microscopes and innovative techniques for probe microscopy.

About us

Higher education, research, technology transfer, interaction with the territory and internationalization: these are the areas of intervention of the University of Udine, which promotes cutting-edge skills translated into international scientific partnerships, publications, books and patents. This is the synthesis of multidisciplinary research activities developed in departments such as DI4A - Department of Agri-Food, Environmental and Animal Sciences, with the aim of carrying out institutional research and teaching activities.

The Department activities consists of: organize study courses in the area of Agri-Food, Environmental and Animal Sciences; sustain among the several research groups the “Food Microbiology” group, whose mission is to tackle food security and quality issues through basic and applied research, generating new knowledge to address threats or risks to human health and the environment, and to develop effective means for their eradication or reduction.
