AnaLight NanoFlex

Automated, Quantitative Thin Film and Nanosurface Characterisation

The AnaLight NanoFlex brings DPI's high-resolution measurement performance into development and discovery facilities with a need for automated sample throughput in surface science and Nanotechnology applications.

The AnaLight NanoFlex is a "molecular microscope" whose quantitative structural measurements can be compared directly with complementary techniques such as neutron reflectivity and ellipsometry, whilst also being capable of mass measurements at higher sensitivity than first-generation optical or acoustic sensor technologies.

Key Features:

	Automated sample loading for unattended throughput
	Autosampler provides precision sample loading from 50-vial, 96-well and 384-well sample formats
	Twin flow cells give simultaneous, parallel sample analysis for control and comparison
	Software provides integrated sample handling and data processing throughout
	Simultaneous measurement on three channels gives total confidence in data integrity
	Full intuitive method scripting for unattended operation, with manual intervention feature during runs
	Wide dynamic range extends solvent and buffer handling capabilities
	Accurate temperature control and rapid temperature stabilisation
	Flexible range of analytical surfaces and reagents available to suit all applications e
	Simple upgrade path from manual AnaLight Nano200

Key Functions:

	Instantaneous, quantitative measurement of thickness, optical density (RI) and mass on two parallel measurement surfaces with automated throughput
	Software gives option of automated reference channel subtraction when running parallel control experiments
	AnaLight software provides comprehensive analysis of surface mass changes, interaction kinetics and structural behaviour in quantitative units
	Measures structural changes in thin films and nanosurfaces as small as 0.1 Ångstrom as they happen
	Measures mass changes as low as 0.1 picogram/mm2 in real time, giving class-leading kinetic performance
	Provides a unique information set on the behaviour and interactions of nanosurfaces and thin films with industry-leading resolution
	Automated AnaChip and solvent calibration protocols ensure ultimate measurement accuracy
