The VASCO TM nanoparticle size analyzer is a unique instrument for nanoparticle suspension and colloidal characterization, based on the Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) .
Key benefits
- High detection efficiency in opaque/dark media, as well as in diluted solution thanks to a DTC patented system
- Extended sample concentration range (up to 40% depending on de sample)
- Reduce sample preparation (no filtration or dilution)
- Polymodal and complex sample analysis
- No consumables needed
- Solvent-proof sample cell
Technologies & innovations
VASCO combines:
- Unique embedded sample cell made of a silica prism and backscattered light detection
- Dual Thickness Controller (DTC) : patented system allowing measurement of diluted sample as well as dark / concentrated ones, without dilution
- Flusher to remove dust and bubbles
- Advanced Padé Laplace algorithm
