For the analysis of size, concentration, fluorescence, electrophoretic mobility and sub-populations of individual nanoparticles.

Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) captures the Brownian motion of each particle in the video. Based on the different diffusion movements of large and small particles in the surrounding liquid, the hydrodynamic diameter of the particles is determined. Furthermore, the charge state of the particle surface (zeta potential) can be measured via the movement of the particles in an applied electric field.

Pattern parameters, such as intensity fluctuations, surface geometry and shape of the particles as well as particle concentration are documented at each recording and can be used to distinguish sub-populations.

All these analyzes are carried out quickly and statistically reliably as required in the scattered light or fluorescence mode.

Antibody-conjugated EVs can be differentiated from membrane-enveloped vesicles labeled with corresponding intercalating dyes.

Depending on the type of sample and the measuring mode, the measuring range is between 15 nm and 5 μm.

The sample is illuminated by a temperature stabilized, precision power-controlled diode laser. The ultra-stable, high-sensitivity, low-noise CCD detector automatically collects the scattered light. Then, the software extrapolates the data to zero angle for the absolute molecular weight determination.

The BI-DNDC is a deflection type refractometer that may be used in either static or dynamic mode. In static mode, the specific refractive index increment, dn/dc, is determined. This value is required as a parameter in molecular weight measurements using light scattering. In dynamic mode dn/dc is already known, and the instrument is used as a concentration detector for HPLC and GPC applications.

Advanced Digital Camera for Challenging Applications
DP74 Digital Microscope Camera


Intelligent Imaging for an Improved Workflow
---------------------------------------------
The DP74 color camera supports advanced functions to capture high-quality images. It’s optimized for fluorescence imaging with powerful noise reduction and a high level of gain sensitivity.


Fast Image Acquisition, Fast Inspections
----------------------------------------
High-definition 1920 × 1200-pixel live images can be displayed at 60 fps, enabling clear observation and real-time focusing with no image deterioration. During inspections, the camera renders clear images of microstructures, such as fine patterns on wafers or the surfaces of new materials. When using features such as multiple image alignment (MIA) to acquire panoramic images or extended focus imaging (EFI) to capture an all-in-focus image over multiple Z-levels, the camera’s high frame rate enables users to complete their imaging tasks quickly and efficiently.


Detect Subtle Flaws
-------------------
A sample’s appearance can vary depending on the quality of the material, surface conditions, or illumination methods. To show samples accurately, the camera’s Live High Dynamic Range (HDR) combines several images taken at different exposures to correct for brightness differences on the sample’s surface. Live HDR provides high-fidelity images that show not only textures but also flaws and defects that were previously undetectable. Glare is also reduced for more comfortable observation.


Observe Faint Fluorescence
--------------------------
A CMOS drive system, low-noise electronics, and optimized image processing enable you to capture images across a broad range of signal gain corresponding to ISO200-6400 standards. The camera’s advanced technologies enable the CMOS sensor to capture sample details using multiple observation methods such as reflected light, darkfield, or fluorescence.


High-Resolution Images Under Low Magnification
----------------------------------------------
Using 3-CMOS mode, a 2.3-megapixel CMOS is combined with pixel-shifting technology, resulting in a 20.7-megapixel resolution. In addition to conventional 3 × 3 pixel shifting of one color per pixel, the DP74 camera’s 3-CMOS pixel shift mode enables three-color image resolution (RGB) within a single pixel to further enhance resolution.

The MicroBrook 2000L utilizes a unique single-beam, dual-lens system that receives all the scattered signals emitted from particles in the nanometer to millimeter size range. Employing the highest quality lenses results in high resolution imaging of the diffracted and scattered light with low distortion, ensuring that the instrument will receive all signals – even weak signals at high angles from scattering of the smallest particles.

The Brookhaven Instruments’ BI-200SM system opens the door to the rich fields of exploration of both Static Light Scattering (SLS) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS).

The BI-200SM Research Goniometer System provides access to these studies with an automatic, modular and versatile system. It is a precision
instrument designed for exacting scattering measurements. Based on a special turntable with precision ball bearings and stepping motor, the BI-200SM’s modern design and quality construction guarantee precise measurements due to the wobblefree movement of the detector. It is field proven in thousands of laboratories. It is ideal for molecular studies and submicron particle sizing.

Brookhaven Instruments’ scientists have extensive experience in the development of instruments and methods for light scattering and this experience has been incorporated into the BI-200SM to make it the finest instrument available for research applications of light scattering.

The NanoDLS is the gateway to absolute nanoparticle sizing including proteins and their aggregates (oligomers), polymers, dendrimers, micelles, and other colloidal materials. Either on-line (ASEC or SEC/GPC), or in batch-mode, it is an excellent tool for determination of hydrodynamic radii from 0.5 to a few microns.

Based on the principles of dynamic light scattering, the NanoDLS uses an automatic, variable-power laser at 638 nm, maximum 35 mW power, an optical cell design, a singlemode fiber, a self-protecting avalanche photodiode and a 25ns/522 channel digital autocorrelator. Due to the optical cell, the NanoDLS can measure samples from extremely low to high concentrations. Such a design allows for small volumes and a vertical flow pattern, minimizing the effects of bubbles.

For globular proteins and other rate samples, sizes are often small and concentrations low. Because of its unique optical cell design, the NanoDLS makes obtaining reliable data from such samples easy. In addition aggregate (oligomer) formation is readily probed because light scattering is supremely sensitive to small amounts of larger particles.

The MicroBrook 2000LD utilizes a unique single-beam, dual-lens system that receives all the scattered signals emitted from particles in the nanometer to millimeter size range. Employing the highest quality lenses results in high resolution imaging of the diffracted and scattered light with low distortion, ensuring that the instrument will receive all signals – even weak signals at high angles from scattering of the smallest particles.

By providing both centrifugal and gravitational sedimentation in one instrument the BI-XDC brings these well established methods of particle sizing up to date for today's fine particle technology. With an X-ray technology to give error free measurements, fast and accurate size distributions across the ""one-micron"" transition region are easily obtained. Now, with a single instrument you can get true high resolution, accurate, particle size distributions from 10 nanometers right up to 100 microns. Brookhaven's advanced scanning detector technology and wide disc speed range lets you optimize analysis times and broaden the range of samples you can analyze.

With the Brookhaven Bl-XDC there are no optical corrections and no optical properties to worry about, just a simple mass sensitive response based on X-ray absorption.
