Real Time Correlation for Time-Resolved analyses
Brand:
Category:
The VASCO KIN™ is a new generation of Time-Resolved instrument for accurate kinetic analyses combined with an in situ and contactless remote optical head. It allows to monitor in Real Time nanoparticles synthesis, agglomeration or the stability of suspensions.
With a single and continuous measurement, VASCO KIN™ gives access to all characterization data of a reaction (size distribution, scattered intensity, correlogramms, etc.).

NanoKin® Software
VASCO KIN™ is delivered with its dedicated NanoKin® software which is user-friendly and fully-dedicated to kinetic analyses.
NanoKin® integrates innovative and unique functions such as:
- A software correlation with Photon-counts storage
- Time-Resolved analysis and post-analysis
- Real Time measurement
- Enhanced mathematic models
- Better reliability of results
- A full report including kinetic analysis
- A Simulation tool
- A Data Replay mode
VASCO KIN™ is delivered with its dedicated NanoKin® software which is user-friendly and fully-dedicated to kinetic analyses.
NanoKin® also offers various results representations:
- A 2D colormap of size distribution over time
- A kinetic size distribution
The unique “Time Slicing” function allows VASCO KIN™ users to choose measurement’s resolution, by selecting a posteriori the analysis’ time scale.
Users then obtain corresponding correloramm & size distribution for the chosen time scale.
NanoKin® also permits the settings of user-defined Standard Operation Systems (SOPs):
- Solvent
- Temperature
- Laser power
- Etc
