Company
XiGo Nanotools was
founded by Sean Race and Dr. David Fairhurst in 2005 with the
mission to provide new innovate “tools” for the emerging nanomaterials industry. The Acorn Area
is designed to
measure the surface area of concentrated dispersions with little
or no sample preparation. Our goal is to provide scientists,
researchers, and corporations with tools that are easy to use and
serve as wide and diverse a customer base as possible. We have
incorporated the latest technology available into an
integrated, high quality package that provides precise
measurements in a very small footprint.
Designed for Use
Across Applications
XiGo instruments are designed to
measure industrially relevant materials, and since most
nanoparticle dispersions are concentrated, direct measurements
on concentrated dispersions is critical. Ease of use is
another important feature of XiGo products; you don't have to be
a "nanotechnologist" in order to generate meaningful results.
Our software is designed so that measurements can be performed
with little operator training making our technology accessible
to R&D and QC/QA/in-Process applications.
The Core Technology
The
Acorn Area's patented technology is based on nuclear
magnetic resonance (NMR) and although small in size, each Acorn
Area is really a portable NMR machine, capable of a wide range
of standard NMR tests in addition to
surface area measurements.
NMR technology provides a non-invasive rapid measurement to
determine a number of important properties of nanomaterials
which will be the basis for other XiGo instruments in the
future.
XiGo's Value
Proposition:
To provide devices that help scientists,
researchers and corporations improve the performance of
nanomaterials ushering the transition of these materials from
the research laboratory to commercial applications.
