LUM GmbH – LUMiSpoc
The LUMiSpoc® is a highly advanced single particle analysis system, similar to a flow cytometer, that measures particle size distribution and particle concentration of nano- and microparticles in suspensions and emulsions with an unparalleled resolution and dynamic range.
The instrument uses the patented Single Particle Light-Scattering Technology® , a technology which records light that is scattered into into forward and sideward directions by single nano- and micro particles while passing a laser beam of a special beam cross-section.
It enables you to get a deep insight into complex nano- and submicro-particulate systems, which helps you to design tailored particles and dispersions.
Key Features
