Introducing Nanotrac Wave - Manufacturer details provided below
Measures the particle size and distribution of dispersions 0.8 to 6,500 nanometers
Microtrac has been a pioneer in particle sizing technology for over 30 years! The Nanotrac Wave is the latest generation of sub-micron Particle Size and Zeta Potential analyzers from Microtrac! The enhanced design on the Nanotrac Wave features faster measurements, smaller particle size capability (to 0.8 nm), higher precision, higher accuracy and advanced software capabilities in a small, robust dynamic light scattering instrument with no moving components. Nanotrac Wave complies with the ISO 13321 standard for Dynamic Light Scattering.
Features
Technology Dynamic Light Scattering incorporating the patented Controlled Reference Method for
advanced power spectrum analysis of Doppler shifts under Brownian Motion.
Range Measurement capability from 0.8 to 6500 nanometers. Zeta Potential from -125 to +125MV
Sample Size Typically less than 3ml in standard cell, or 0.2ml with small cell option.
Rapid Analysis 15 to 30 second analysis times in most cases.
Analysis Simplicity No “A Priori” or advance knowledge of the sample is required. Nanotrac will accurately report monomodal, multimodal, broad and narrow distributions without the need to select
special calculation algorithms.
Accuracy Measures using Mie scattering calculations for spherical particles and proprietary Mie
calculations for non-spherical particles. This feature is unique to Microtrac.
Repeatability Better than 1% from instrument to instrument for 100nm polystyrene.
Traceability Particle Size measurements traceable to NIST standards.
Sample Cell Modules Nano, Zeta, Micro insert for Nano Cell, Flow thru cell with or withouit cap.
Concentration Capable to measure up to 40% by solids in some cases. This feature reduces the need to
dilute samples which may affect particle size or colloid stability. Low concentration
measurements can be as low as 0.1ppm for 200nm polystyrene.
Temperature Control Precise temperature control using a Peltier control device.
Versatility Nanotrac Wave probe can be external for use in Dip-N-Run or in-line applications. Nanotrac
Wave is also compatible with the Zetrator titration device.
Security/Validation Nanotrac Wave FLEX software is compatible with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 protocols. Full
IQ/OQ/PQ validation documentation is available for Nanotrac Wave.
