NS500
The NanoSight NS500 Instrument provides an easy-to-use, reproducible platform for specific and general nanoparticle characterisation.
With the NS500 you can analyse the presence, size distribution, concentration and fluorescence of all types of nanoparticles from 10nm to 1000nm depending on the instrument configuration and sample type.
Samples are introduced into the viewing chamber using the on-board fluidics capability. On-screen pump control allows for automatic sample handling, including loading, washing and dilution. Computer-controlled motorised optical stages enable rapid relocation and refocussing following cleaning, improving reproducibility. Sample temperature is fully programmable through the NTA Software Suite.
