Microtrac - NANO-flex
Equipped with unique probe technology, the NANO-flex particle size analyzer from Microtrac is able to quickly measure the particle size distribution.
Equipped with unique probe technology, the NANO-flex particle size analyzer from Microtrac is able to quickly measure the particle size distribution of aqueous macromolecular solutions.
The core methodology of the NANO-flex is Dynamic Light Scattering, however unlike mainstream Photon Correlation Spectroscopy [PCS], Microtrac utilizes a propietary Controlled Reference Method.

Features of NANO-flex
- NANO-flex Particle Size Analyzer
- Unique probe technology – simply dip and measure
- Measures particles ranging in size from 0.8 to 6500 nanometers
- Dynamic Light Scattering incorporating the patented Controlled Reference Method for advanced power spectrum analysis of Doppler shifts under Brownian Motion
- No “A Priori” or advance knowledge of the particle size distribution is required
- Pairs with the Stabino for Zeta Potential Analysis
- Users who manufacturer “high-end” materials can simply dip the probe into a larger container of material, which conserves valuable lab resources and eliminates costly sample prep errors
- While other DLS instruments utilize PCS to measure particle size, Microtrac’s Controlled Reference Method incorporates heterodyne detection by calculating signals of various scattered light frequencies combined with the reflected signal of the un-shifted frequency of the original laser, to generate a wide spectrum of frequencies. The power spectrum is then deconvolved which provides higher accuracy for multi modal and broad distribution measurements
- Short optical path allows users to measure higher concentrations of a substance
- NANO-flex and Stabino combo can be used as stand-alone instruments, which allows multiple groups to work with the instruments
