What Herzan does
Herzan LLC is a US-based designer and manufacturer of environmental isolation solutions for sensitive scientific instruments. Its portfolio addresses three noise categories - vibration, acoustic interference, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) - through integrated active and passive vibration control platforms (AVI Series and TS Series with sub-hertz piezoelectric isolation across six axes), variable-density acoustic enclosures spanning desktop to SEM/TEM scales, and the Spicer AC/DC magnetic field cancellation system. The technology stack combines piezoelectric sensor-actuator feedback loops, modular mechanical architectures accommodating instruments from 0 to 9,000 kg, and diagnostic tooling (WaveCatcher, SC11, SC28) that measures and characterizes site environmental noise prior to installation.
The company operates a sales-led, direct-to-customer model targeting research institutions, universities, semiconductor failure-analysis labs, and industrial quality-control users (e.g., Essilor USA, UC Davis, University of Minnesota). All pricing is custom quotation-based with multi-year contract cadence; bespoke engineering is offered for non-standard instrument requirements. Go-to-market relies on a Request-Quote website funnel and face-to-face engagement at industry conferences including Microscopy & Microanalysis (M&M), ISTFA, and Materials Research Society (MRS). Distribution partnerships (Spicer magnetic field cancellation; TFP Interferometers from January 2026) expand the product surface without manufacturing complexity. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of platforms and enclosures, supplemented by professional services including site surveys, floor flatness analysis, installation, instrument lifting, and extended warranties.

Herzan product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Herzan designs, manufactures, and sells environmental isolation hardware — including active and passive vibration control platforms, acoustic enclosures, and magnetic field cancellation systems — used to stabilize sensitive scientific and analytical instruments such as scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM/TEM) and atomic force microscopes (AFM). The company complements these products with site survey tools, installation services, floor flatness analysis, and custom engineering solutions.
Product overview
Herzan is a provider of advanced environmental isolation solutions designed to shield sensitive scientific instruments from acoustic noise, vibration, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The product portfolio is organized around three core technology pillars: (1) Active Vibration Control - including the AVI Series modular platforms (AVI-200/400/600 with XL variants) and TS Series desktop tables featuring piezoelectric-based sub-hertz isolation across six axes; (2) Acoustic Enclosures - ranging from desktop units (Silencer, AEK-2002) to large workstation enclosures (NanoVault, Crypt, AEK-2011) and SEM-specific enclosures, utilizing variable density sound isolation materials; (3) Magnetic Field Cancellation - the Spicer System (SC22/SC24) for AC/DC field cancellation in electron microscopes. Supporting these are Site Survey Tools (WaveCatcher, SC11, SC28) for environmental noise characterization, Passive Vibration Control products (Onyx and NanoDamp Series), Custom Solutions engineering services, and complementary services including installation, floor analysis, and extended warranties. The company serves research applications including electron microscopy, AFM/SPM, interferometry, and materials science across academic, industrial, and semiconductor sectors.

Herzan competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- TMC (Technical Manufacturing Corporation): TMC is a leading direct competitor to Herzan in active and passive vibration isolation tables for microscopy, semiconductor, and precision research applications. Both companies target SEM/TEM/AFM users with comparable low-frequency isolation performance.
- Table Stable: Table Stable is a niche competitor specializing in active and passive anti-vibration tables for microscopy and interferometry—directly overlapping with Herzan's TS Series and AVI product positioning.
- Bilz Vibration Technology: Bilz is a European-based competitor in active and passive vibration isolation for precision machinery and laboratory instruments. Their industrial and lab isolation products compete with Herzan's AVI and TS Series in EMEA markets.
