CVD nanotube tools going into Los Alamos lab

Aug. 29, 2006 — CVD Equipment Corp. of Ronkonkoma, N.Y., announced it has been selected by CNT Technologies to supply an EasyTube 3000 Carbon Nanotube System for use by Los Alamos National Laboratory to further develop the commercialization of carbon nanotube fibers.

CVD started shipping the EasyTube & EasyWire 2000 and 3000 series early this year to research scientists at numerous universities, government and industrial research laboratories throughout the world. The EasyTube system is used for the growth of single and multiwall aligned carbon nanotubes while the EasyWire system is used for the growth of nanowires used in electronic applications.

“The systems are being used to develop and strengthen the processes needed for future production applications,” said Len Rosenbaum, CVD’s president and chief executive, in a prepared statement. “These process developments should enable introduction in the first half of 2007 our EasyTube 12000 production Carbon Nanotube platform.”
