Gooch & Housego Enters Distribution Agreement with TechnoTeam
Gooch & Housego announces that it will be entering into an agreement with TechnoTeam Bildverarbeitung GmbH (Germany) to distribute their LMK imaging photometer systems in North America. Coupled with TechnoTeam’s integrated automated goniometer, it can be used for near-field measurements of angular and spatial distribution of extended sources in high growth applications, such as LED luminaires and automotive lighting, which would be otherwise impossible in test facilities where space is at a premium.

NanoSight Adds Zeta Potential Measurement Capability to their Tool for Nanoparticle Characterization
Zeta Potential Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (Z-NTA) adds measurement of surface charge to simultaneous reporting of size, composition (light scattering intensity), fluorescence, and count. Zeta potential is measured particle-by-particle, simultaneously for the complete sample population. Size and light scattering intensity are also reported. Polydisperse and complex suspensions are readily characterized. All data sets are validated by real-time observation of particles moving under both electrophoretic and Brownian motion.
