AnaLight® NanoFlex
"Automated, Quantitative Thin Film and Nanosurface Characterisation"
The AnaLight® NanoFlex brings DPI's high-resolution measurement performance into development and discovery facilities with a need for automated sample throughput in surface science and Nanotechnology applications.
In simple terms, the AnaLight® NanoFlex is a 'molecular microscope' whose quantitative structural measurements can be compared directly with complementary techniques such as neutron reflectivity and ellipsometry, whilst also being capable of mass measurements at higher sensitivity than first-generation optical or acoustic sensor technologies.
- Automated sample loading for unattended throughput
- Autosampler provides precision sample loading from 50-vial, 96-well and 384-well sample formats
- Twin flow cells give simultaneous, parallel sample analysis for control and comparison
- Software provides integrated sample handling and data processing throughout
- Simultaneous measurement on three channels gives total confidence in data integrity
- Full intuitive method scripting for unattended operation, with manual intervention feature during runs
- Wide dynamic range extends solvent and buffer handling capabilities
- Accurate temperature control and rapid temperature stabilisation
- Flexible range of analytical surfaces and reagents available to suit all applications
- Simple upgrade path from manual AnaLight® Nano200
- Instantaneous, quantitative measurement of thickness, optical density (RI) and mass on two parallel measurement surfaces with automated throughput
- Software gives option of automated reference channel subtraction when running parallel control experiments
- AnaLight® software provides comprehensive analysis of surface mass changes, interaction kinetics and structural behaviour in quantitative units
- Measures structural changes in thin films and nanosurfaces as small as 0.1 Ångstrom as they happen
- Measures mass changes as low as 0.1 picogram/mm2 in real time, giving class-leading kinetic performance
- Provides a unique information set on the behaviour and interactions of nanosurfaces and thin films with industry-leading resolution
- Automated AnaChip™ and solvent calibration protocols ensure ultimate measurement accuracy
