NANOPHOX/R is an innovative Photon Cross-correlation sensor allowing for simultaneous measurement
of particle size and stability of opaque emulsions and suspensions in the nanometer regime.
Technical specifications and dimensions.
Photon Cross‐correlation Spectroscopy (PCCS) | Particle Size and Stability with NANOPHOX/R from 0.5 nm to 10,000 nm
In general, the acquisition of scattered light intensities of particles under thermal motion is deployed for nanoparticle characterisation (principle of dynamic light scattering (DLS)). The method known as Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS) applies auto‐correlation of scattered light intensities in order to determine particle size distribution. However, this conventional technology requires extremely diluted samples in order to deliver meaningful results.
NANOPHOX/R brings Photon Cross‐correlation Spectroscopy (PCCS) to life, which allows for nanoparticle size analysis in turbid suspensions and emulsions ranging from 0.5 nm to 10,000 nm at up to a hundred times higher solid contents. In addition, stability of nanosuspensions and emulsion may be analysed. The outstanding technological feature of NANOPHOX is the acquisition of two separately induced scattered light intensities which then are cross‐correlated. This allows for robust measurement even at higher sample concentrations. Typical applications comprise e.g., pharmaceutical ingredients, pigments and research on nanomaterials in general.
The sample vial is inserted manually into a basin keeping the sample at a fixed pre-defined temperature T.
The position of the sample vial can be selected by software in order to optimise the count rate.
On the rear you will find the mains switch, and a RJ45 connector or the connection to the laptop or PC via a standard100 Mbit TCP-IP network.
