UPI

Creation date : 2021



UPI is a start-up created in 2021 which offers versatile, multi-scale, compact and very simplified measuring instruments for measuring weak interactions.

With its personalized systems, UPI offers precision measuring instruments in a wide range of fields and therefore has the ambition to tackle different markets (care and cosmetics, precision mechanics, petrochemicals, etc.). UPI takes advantage of a new technique for force measurement and imaging at the nanoscale. By decoupling the measurement probe from the detector, our instrument becomes very versatile and allows us to probe a large number of measurements (repulsive, electrical, magnetic, tunnel, electrochemical, etc.) from the nanoscale to the macroscale on the same instrument. . In addition to the measurement versatility that our technique allows, our instruments are capable of working in any type of environment (air, liquid or vacuum).
