Description
Particle Size Distributions
The NANO-flex® II 180° DLS system measures size distributions in the range of 0.3 nm to 10 µm.
The unique 180° back scattering principle of the NANO-flex® allows measurement of highly concentrated samples, without interference from the effect of multiple scattering. The heterodyne design of the NANO-flex probe means that some reference light from the laser is reflected straight to the detector to act as a reference and significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the NANO-flex compared to other DLS instruments.
The NANO-flex® is designed as a flexible measuring probe with 8mm diameter. It can therefore be used for a whole range of in-situ particle sizing scenarios, whatever the vessel – be it 96 well plates, beakers, vials or even in the Stabino zeta potential titration beaker for simultaneous size and charge experiments.
Key Benefits:
- 180° heterodyne dynamic light scattering (very short light path in the sample avoiding multiple light scattering).
- Measurement in a variable concentration range (0.01 up to 40% w/v) from 0.3nm to 10um particle size.
- Dip in probe offering online in-situ size measurements
- Solvent resistance
In-line Applications
The NANO-flex can also be used for in-line applications, such as during a milling process. The IPAS accessory allows the NANO-flex to take accurate size measurements either during a process flow or in a stirred beaker, by isolating a small sub-volume of sample for measurement, before releasing it back into line, in a completely automated solution.
DLS Applications
DLS applications with the NANO-flex® nanoparticle measurement system module are almost unlimited, provided the viscosity of the sample is in the Newtonian range, a condition for the free Brownian movement in the fluid and for the accurate calculation of size. The liquid medium of the particles can be of organic or aqueous nature.
