The NanoSight NS200
NanoSight's NS200 is a compact, low footprint version of NanoSight’s High Sensitivity technology used in the LM10-HS and NS500. The optics are contained within a customised housing ideal for use within inks, paints and pigment manufacturing, chemical and petrochemical industries and vaccine and biopharmaceutical manufacturers. Using the standard LM12 laser module with either a red or blue laser, this instrument generates identical results to that obtained with the LM10-HS instrument.
The configuration of choice for the study of weakly scattering (e.g. biological and small >10-15nm) nanoparticles:
- For use in a non-laboratory environment
- For use by non-expert users unfamiliar with microscopes
- Larger >40-50nm polymeric/biological nanoparticles (e.g. most viruses)
- Virus and phage
- Liposomes and drug delivery nanoparticles
- Protein aggregates
Specification
- Nanoparticle analysis range: typically 10 nm - 1000 nm, dependent on particle material
- Particle type: any
- Solvent: any non-corrosive solvent and water. A range of solvent-resistant seals are available.
- Power requirement (own adapter supplied): 110-220V
- Laser output: 40mW at 640 nm (Class 1 Laser Product)
- Sample volume requirements: 0.3 ml
Application
The NS200 is proven with most nanoparticle classes down to 10 nm (dependent upon particle type) dispersed in a wide range of solvents:
- Ceramic and metallic nanoparticles
- Pharmaceutical nanoparticles - liposomes
- Viruses
- Carbon nanotubes (multi-walled)
- Colloidal suspensions and polymer nanoparticles
- Cosmetics and foodstuffs
- Nanoparticles in fuels and oils (soot, catalyst, wax etc.)
- Wear debris in lubricants
- Chemical Mechanical Polishing Slurries
- Nanotoxicology studies
NTA Software
The NTA Analytical Software suite offers:
- Real-Time dynamic nano-particle visualisation
- Particle-by-particle analysis
- Particle counting and sizing
- Particle size distributions displayed as histograms
- Data output to spreadsheet
- Video clip capture
