英国NanoSight
独特的纳米颗粒检视与分析,实时低成本,无需样品制备。
Nanosight系统既提供直接实时的纳米颗粒检视,也给出全面的颗粒粒径分布分析。这两种数据都是NanoSight 独有的。
NanoSight was formed in 2002 to develop nanoparticle detection techniques based on a suite of patents that came out of the work of its founder and current Chief Technical Officer, Bob Carr. It is now the world leading provider of a series of unique instruments for the optical detection and real time analysis of sub-micron particles that offer significant advantages compared to existing light scattering techniques.
The Company's proprietary knowledge and expertise has enabled the delivery of technologies to blue chip companies and universities for direct visualisation of individual nanoscale particles in suspension from which immediate independent quantitative estimation of particle size, size distribution and concentration can be obtained.
A major international defence contractor, Smiths Industries, was an early licensee, applying NanoSight's technology in virus detection and, in 2005, NanoSight was awarded a prestigious UK Government Nanotechnology Research Grant. NanoSight is one of several metrology solutions currently under serious scrutiny with the National Physical Laboratory as a potential next-generation characterisation standard.
Since instrument deliveries commenced in 2006, NanoSight now has more than 100+ systems in service worldwide. The revolutionary NanoSight LM10 and LM20 systems are powered by the ground-breaking Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) software, which has been the subject of a recent major upgrade. The growing base of users includes 3M Corp, Atomic Weapons Establishment, BASF, BP, GlaxoSmithKline, ICI, Nestle, Roche, Schlumberger, Syngenta and Unilever together with a host of university nanoparticle research departments. UK University users include Birmingham, Cambridge, Durham, Edinburgh, Imperial, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Oxford, Southampton and Surrey.
NanoSight has an expanding network of distributors worldwide to support the accelerating sales growth. Further details may be found on Distributors page
NanoSight Ltd is a venture capital backed company. Original funds from NESTA, Strathdon Investments and South West Ventures have recently been augmented by significant angel investment from members of the SWAIN and OEI Investment Networks.
