February 18, 2021 – Moxtek is excited to celebrate the landing of the Perseverance rover in the Mars Jezero crater on February 18th 2021. This landing will be watched by many people around the world with anticipation as this new high‐tech rover is delivered to our red planet neighbor. Moxtek employees will also be anxiously watching as this rover, with three Moxtek products, prepares for a safe landing.
Please celebrate this landing with us on February 18th @ 1:55pm MST (Utah time). Learn more here.

July 15, 2020 — MOXTEK is pleased to announce the launch of another component into space again. The launch of the Perseverance Mars rover will signify the 10th time that a Moxtek component has been launched into space flight. This rover, developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), includes seven important instruments intended to explore and seek evidence of past life on Mars. One of these instruments, the Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry (PIXL), is a compact x-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer mounted at the end of the rover’s robotic arm and is designed to provide accurate identification of the elemental composition of rock and soil on Mar’s surface. The PIXL system uses three Moxtek components including a miniature x-ray tube and two DuraBeryllium x-ray detector windows. NASA/JPL chose Moxtek x-ray windows because of their exceptional dependability in harsh and remote environments and chose the Moxtek x-ray tube because of its compact design, rigidity, and low-power consumption. The Moxtek x-ray tube was specifically designed to couple directly to an x-ray polycapillary optic, developed by X-ray Optical Systems (XOS), for the purpose of elemental mapping. Moxtek’s x-ray tube and window enable the PIXL system to provide increased spatial resolution and improved measurement sensitivity. The PIXL system will analyze samples at each test site to determine the abundance and distribution of various chemical elements. Learn more here.

Moxtek has achieved low cost, wafer-scale manufacturing of photonic crystal structures for label-free sensing and microarray based surface enhanced fluorescence applications. Here TiO2 photonic crystal guided-mode resonance structures are presented, and showed a 7.7 fold average fluorescence enhancement factor when compared to a glass reference slide for assays of Human IgG, IgM, IgA, and streptavidin-biotin.  The structure depicted below also produced a 2.5nm spectral shift upon binding of a self-assembled monolayer, thereby demonstrating the capability for detection of sub-monolayer thicknesses of adsorbates.   Picture1

Moxtek has developed cost effective and reliable methods to obtain uniform wafer scale metallic nanohole array patterned biochips. Here their use as fluorescence enhancing substrates for Cy3 based protein microarrays is demonstrated. The structures, utilizing highly focused and enhanced optical fields, greatly boost the fluorescence SNR, allowing for the detection of antigen concentrations 3+ orders of magnitude lower than current commercial standards.
