The Power of the Probe: Dynamic Light Scattering Made Easy


Rapid, simple and reliable particle size measurements in suspensions and emulsions without using consumables - all this is possible with Microtrac’s unique probe technology used in the Nanotrac analyser series: Nanotrac FLEX and Nanotrac WAVE II. The compact units operate with the Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) method over a wide concentration range, usually without dilution, to measure particle size, zeta potential, concentration and molecular weight.


Thanks to the unique, flexible probe design and the use of laser-amplified detection in the Nanotrac FLEX, any suitable vessel can be turned into a sample cell. For Nanotrac WAVE II, a wide selection of measurement cells is available. This design enables sample measurements without dilution and without prior knowledge about the particle distribution, based on the Frequency Power Spectrum (FPS) method instead of classic Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS).


The revolutionary fixed optic design of the Nanotrac FLEX probe allows for measurement, for example, in 1.5 ml Eppendorf Tubes® down to one single droplet. As any vessel can be turned into a measurement vessel, the probe can be used at-line as well as in-line to monitor particle growth during a reaction.

Internationally Accredited Particle Size Standards


Traditionally, suppliers of particle size standards use NIST SRMs to self-certify their products, declaring them traceable to NIST. However, QC protocols that need to comply with ISO/IEC 17025 regulations need standards that are certified by an independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory.


Applied Microspheres has developed NanoStandards™ and MicroStandards™ particle standards, in diameters from 20 nm to 200 µm. They are traceable to batches externally certified by a renowned, internationally recognised and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited metrology institute, that is a signatory of the EA and ILAC Multilateral Recognition Arrangements. By following the methods prescribed by these MRAs, NanoStandards™ and MicroStandards™ are traceable to the International System of Units (SI). NIST traceability is also achieved, since NIST SRMs are an integral part of Applied Microspheres’ extensive calibration and certification methods.


For QC laboratories that need the highest level of international metrological standard available, Applied Microspheres offers the NanoStandards™ and MicroStandards™ 17025 size standards product line. These are standards from the original batches certified by the ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. They are available in diameters of 100nm, 300nm, 500nm, 1.0 µm and 5.0 µm.

Precision Nano-range Particle Size Measurement


The Fritsch A-22 NeXT Nano is your Laser Particle Sizer, when it comes to the highest accuracy and sensitivity even with the smallest particles - with an extra wide measuring range from 0.01 to 3800 μm. And as Micro version an economy alternative for a smaller measuring range from 0.5 to 1500 μm.


Both are designed with just one laser and a number of patented features for maximum durability with minimum maintenance. Installation is easy via plug and play, thorough cleaning without tools with just few simple steps. The high-performance software - delivered free of charge - offers unique options for evaluation and documentation and meets the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11.


With two different measuring ranges, the A-22 NeXT Nano is perfectly equipped for all measuring tasks. The ultra-fast measuring times of less than a minute provide highly accurate measuring results that exceed ISO 13320. Wear-free and low-maintenance, one professional maintenance per year is sufficient. The modular concept ensures cost savings as you only buy the relevant modules to suit user needs.


The dry dispersion unit module is a height-adjustable funnel and a stirrer made of stainless steel to ensure optimum sample feeding adapted to the respective sample material.


The wet dispersion unit module provides fast, uniform distribution of the sample material thanks to the powerful centrifugal pump with adjustable speed. For even finer adjustment of the wet dispersion to the respective sample, the ultrasonic box module is ideal if you frequently measure sample materials that tend to agglomerate.


For simple, continuous monitoring of the pH value of the dispersion liquid, the pH measurement module covers fluctuations more effectively than the zeta potential. An extreme chemical resistance module is a conversion kit for problem-free measurement when using aggressive organic solvents such as benzene or hexane.
