JPK IP Processing 2.2

JPK IP Processing is a dedicated analysis and visualization solution from JPK Instruments AG for data produced by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and related nanomechanical experiments. It streamlines post-acquisition workflows, helping researchers turn raw images and force curves into reliable, publication-ready results with clear, repeatable procedures.

Key capabilities

• AFM image processing: leveling, line-by-line flattening, drift correction, filtering, and artifact reduction to enhance data quality without distorting measurements.
• Quantitative analysis: roughness and morphology metrics, height profiles, cross-sections, grain/particle statistics, and 3D visualization.
• Force spectroscopy tools: force–distance curve analysis, baseline correction, contact-point detection, and mechanical property mapping for samples such as biomaterials, polymers, and cells.
• Mapping and correlation: generate parameter maps (e.g., adhesion or stiffness) and compare them with topography and other channels.
• Reproducible workflows: apply consistent processing steps across datasets, document settings, and export results for review and reporting.
• Flexible data handling: opens native JPK formats and supports export to common image and data formats for downstream analysis and figure creation.

Typical uses

• Life science and biophysics: nanomechanics of cells, tissues, and soft materials.
• Materials science and polymers: surface roughness, heterogeneity, and mechanical property mapping.
• Nanotechnology and surface engineering: feature characterization, defect analysis, and process monitoring.

Integration and compatibility

• Designed to work seamlessly with data acquired on JPK AFM systems such as NanoWizard and CellHesion.
• Supports standardized exports for easy inclusion in lab reports, presentations, and publications.

JPK IP Processing helps AFM users move efficiently from raw data to confident conclusions, combining robust correction tools with quantitative analysis tailored to nanoscale research.
