Carbon Nanoprobes closes equity financing

January 9, 2008 — Carbon Nanoprobes Inc. (CN Probes), a company specializing in devices that serve the nanotechnology and biotechnology industries, has closed an A-round of investment capital and has hired more managers.

The funding will be used to complete development and launch of CN Probes’ flagship product, a carbon nanotube probe tip for the atomic force microscope (AFM), the company said in a news release.

The product is an imaging platform that will allow scientists and engineers in multiple fields, from biotechnology to chip fabrication to “see more and know more,” the company said.

“We take pictures of tiny things. We’re nanophotographers and our pictures have value to scientists in multiple fields,” said Brian Ruby, the company’s 24-year-old chief executive.
