SRC is pleased to announce that we have concluded an agreement with Cordouan Technologies to be exclusive distributor in Canada of their VASCO KIN™ particle analyzer— a role we take on with great enthusiasm.
VASCO KIN™
The VASCO KIN™ is a Nanoparticle Size Analyzer. A new generation of time-resolved instruments for accurate kinetic analyses combined with an in situ and contactless remote optical head. It allows for real-time monitoring of nanoparticle synthesis, agglomeration or the stability of suspensions using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). With a single and continuous measurement, VASCO KIN™ gives access to all characterization data of a reaction (size distribution, scattered intensity, correlogramms, etc.).
Key features and benefits
- Frequency stabilized laser and artefact-free Avalanche Photodiode (APD) detector
→ High measurement accuracy
→ Very low sample scattering - Embedded dedicated PC, including software correlation and complete and dedicated software NanoKin®
→ User-friendly interface
→ Photon-counts storage for time-resolved analysis and post-analysis
→ Full reports, including kinetic analysis - Enhanced mathematical models
→ Better reliability of results
→ 2D colormap of size distribution over time
