Products
Area
The Acorn Area measures particles in about 5 minutes, just as they are made, in any liquid, at any concentration: no dilution, drying, or any sample preparation whatsoever.
Drop
The Drop performs size measurements of high concentration, high viscosity, opaque and light-sensitive emulsions non-destructively, without dilution.
Flow
Flow measurements simplify particle surface analysis. Pour the sample in a beaker and add polymers or surfactants to observe changes at the particle liquid interface.
Chek
Process monitoring of the wetted surface area of concentrated suspensions in a manufacturing environment.
Vasco Kin Particle Sizer
Analyzes particle size using patented contactless noninvasive backscatter dynamic light scattering through any transparent medium, a vial, beaker, syringe wall and packaging, a sight glass of a reactor, etc.
Amerigo Size & Zeta Potental
Combines multiangle backscatter particle size and ELS zeta potential measurements in one device. Expansion with Kin contactless remote fiber optic probe and a high concentration module possible.
Vasco Particle Size Analyzer
Utilizes a patented thin film technology that enables rapid particle size measurements using dynamic light scattering of concentrated suspensions. Flow through measurements possible. Temperature range : 15 – 90 C
Wallis Zeta Analyzer
Utilizes Electrophoretic light scattering (ELS) to determine the zeta potential of particles in liquids. Temperature range: 10°C to 70°C +/-0.1°C
About US
XiGo Nanotools particle technology measures the particle liquid interface of suspensions without dilution, providing a sensitive tool for research and development as well as quality assurance.
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. Xigo’s patented technology is based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and, although small in size, functions as a portable NMR machine, capable of a wide range of standard NMR tests in addition to surface area measurements. Xigo seeks 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.
