Dynamic Light Scattering Instruments
DynaPro™ Plate Reader 4
Transforming automated dynamic and static light scattering in microwell plates
The DynaPro Plate Reader revolutionizes high-throughput dynamic and static light scattering (DLS/ SLS). Engineered for simplicity and speed, the intuitive touch interface minimizes set-up time, optimizes workflows, and delivers results faster than ever. Measure directly in industry-standard 96, 384 or 1536 well plates. Simply load and walk away.
DynaPro™ NanoStar™ II
Traditional dynamic light scattering, just better.
The DynaPro NanoStar operates in traditional microcuvette-based format to analyze size distributions and particle concentrations of proteins, nanomedicines, viruses, vesicles, emulsions, micelles and metallic nanoparticles. It uniquely combines two optimized 90° detections channels: one for DLS and one for static light scattering. Providing walk-up operation via an intuitive touch-screen app, the NanoStar performs robust, accurate measurements with as little as 2 µL of sample.
DynaPro™ ZetaStar™
Walk-up or automated measurements of dynamic, static and electrophoretic light scattering.
The ZetaStar operates with an autosampler, or manually using microcuvettes, to measure a sample’s size distribution, particle concentration, molecular weight, turbidity, and zeta potential. Proteins, nanomedicines, viral vectors, extracellular vesicles, nano emulsions, and polymers can all be analyzed in a variety of solvents, including salt concentrations greater than physiological conditions.
