The BI-200SM goniometer from TESTA Analytical Solutions e.K has been designed to make it the finest instrument available for research applications of light scattering.

Offering unmatched performance for both Static Light Scattering (SLS) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) experiments the BI-200SM research goniometer is a precision instrument for undertaking exacting measurements

Favored by leading research groups around the world, the BI-200SM’s modularity makes system expansion simple. Featuring a standard optical rail, the BI-200SM can be used with neutral density filters, polarizers, auxiliary analyzers, additional lasers, and a reference detector. Research groups with special sample requirements can often be accommodated by changing the cell holder design or size.

Based on a special turntable with precision ball bearings and stepping motor, the Bl-200SM’s advanced design and quality construction guarantee precise measurements due to the wobble-free movement of the detector. The system is field-proven in hundreds of laboratories and has become a light scattering research standard for macro-molecular studies and submicron particle sizing.

By taking advantage of the multiple inputs available on the BI-200SM’s proprietary digital correlator a new capability of the BI-200SM system was created. By adding an optical signal splitter to the beam of scattered light and a second detector it is possible to eliminate the effects of very high-speed interference from the detector(s). This Cross-Correlation System provides remarkably clean data.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters. Find the best particle characterization instruments in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Surface Area TestingPhysisorption studies fundamental parameters essential for the characterization of materials such as the specific surface area and pore size distribution. Properties such as porosity, strength, hardness, permeability, separation selectivity, corrosion, and thermal stress resistance can all be directly correlated to the porous structure of a material.Dynamic Light ScatteringDynamic light scattering is used to measure the size distribution of particles in suspension by analyzing the way light scatters off them. It is commonly used in materials science, nanotechnology, and protein characterization. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best dynamic light scattering systems, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.
