A NEW versatile nano-particle size analyser for high accuracy measurements and process monitoring

CORDOUAN technologies is pleased to announce the release of the VASCO FlexTM. Based on patented and field proven technologies, VASCO Flex is a fully versatile and flexible particle size analyzer which integrates advanced single mode optical fiber arrangements to bring in clever and unique ways particle size measurements to your process. The flexibility of the optical fiber design allows proposing various measurement configurations tailored to your applications to better fit your constraints.

Probe options

Currently VASCO Flex is proposed with three different off the shelve probe options:

• a traditional standalone tri axis bench set up, thermalized, for measurements at 90° on standard cuvette cell
• a small foot print fiber remote cell with the patented dual thickness controller (DTC) system for measurements of dark and/or concentrated suspensions in confined environments
• a probe head for in situ and non contact measurements

NanoQTM proprietary software

In combination with the NanoQTM proprietary software, VASCO Flex is designed to be robust, accurate, easy to implement and to use, allowing to address a large range of measurement configurations and of applications like:

• Combined and simultaneous SAXS and DLS measurement systems for NP synthesis and growth process monitoring inside a glass capillary
• In situ emulsion synthesis monitoring in high-pressure high-temperature autoclave/ reactor (ex supercritical CO2 synthesis reactor- 80 bars-60°C)
• In situ characterization of ultrafine bubbles (micron and sub-micron size) for generation process control and stability analysis
• Measurement in controlled and/or limited access environment conditions (ex glove box, ATEX atmosphere)
• In situ measurement of Ferro Fluid NP size kinetics under high magnetic field conditions (ex thermo magnetic induced Cargo release study)
