The NanoSight NS300 provides rapid and automated analysis of the size distribution and concentration of all types of nanoparticles in suspension in the size range of 10-2000nm (depending on material) and addresses the needs of a wide variety of applications including protein aggregation, exosome and macrovesicle research, drug delivery systems and characterization of materials.
This instrument provides multi-faceted analysis that includes a motorized filter wheel, as well as a rheology feature that can measure viscosity in the range 0-5 centipoise. With a footprint measuring just 40cm long by 25cm wide, the NS300 is packed with NanoSight’s latest developments. It comes complete with a high-sensitivity CMOS camera, temperature control, and a choice of laser block.
A new top plate and laser module block are removable to enable easy cleaning and assembly. The top plate comes with a replaceable sample chamber designed with a special stem to enable removal without having to handle the sensitive sample area. It has very easy and sophisticated Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) software.
