VASCO KIN PARTICLE SIZE ANALYZER – CORDUAN
Model: VASCO KIN
Manufacturer: CORDUAN
Origin: FRANCE
Key Features
-
Time-Resolved DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering)
Enables real-time monitoring of nanoparticle dynamics during synthesis, agglomeration, or stability tests. -
Contactless Remote Probe
Allows in situ measurements directly inside sealed containers (e.g., vials, syringes), avoiding contamination or sample loss. -
Wide Measurement Range
Detects particles from 0.5 nm to 10 µm, accommodating diverse nanomaterial applications. -
High Time Resolution
Captures changes in particle size distributions with resolution down to 200 milliseconds. -
High Concentration Capability
Handles samples up to 40% wt, suitable for complex and dense dispersions. -
NanoKin® Software
Provides real-time visualization (2D colormap), kinetic tracking, and intuitive analysis of size distribution over time. -
Compact & Maintenance-Free Design
No moving parts—robust, reliable, and suitable for integration in various environments.
Key Benefits
-
Real-Time Insight: Ideal for studying reaction kinetics, polymerization, nanoparticle growth, or stability in situ.
