Particle and Surface Sciences are proud to introduce the NanoSight NS500 Instrument. PsS™ are pleased to extend an opportunity to your organization for an onsite demonstration of this newest model and introduce the latest technology in nanoparticle characterization. At the demonstration, there will be an opportunity to hear more about the background technology and its applications.

The Nanosight NS500 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.

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: 75mW at 532 nm (Class 1 Laser Product)
• Sample volume requirements: 100

Application:

The NS500 is proven with most nanoparticle classes down to 10nm (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 SoftwareThe NTA Analytical Software suite offers:

• Real-Time dynamic nano-particle visualisation
• Particle-by-particle analysis
• Particle counting and sizing
• Particle size distributions displayed as histogram
• Data output to spreadsheet
• Video clip capture

Particle & Surface Sciences (www.pss.aus.net) also offer a wide-ranging programme of support solutions, including installation and service of all instruments by factory trained technicians, an Analytical Laboratory and a Sales Department to assist with your enquiries.
