KSV Minitrough

Three Basic VersionsMinitrough 1A basic Langmuir-film balance designed forconventional monolayer analysis. Suitable forbiological applications when small amounts ofmaterial or small subphase volumes are beingrequired.• Biomembranes and lipid monolayers• lung surfactant studies• binding of drugs• enzyme kinetics• penetration of molecules into monolayers• measurements of changes in surface tensionby rod methodMinitrough 2Sophisticated Langmuir-Blodgett instrument forunsupervised deposition of multiple monolayerson solid substrates. DC motor driven steplessdeposition device and symmetric compressionof the monolayer ensure the highest uniformityof molecular orientation during deposition.• wide selection of substrate holders• automatic PC controlled operation• leak proof barriers• digital displays for measuring parameters• manual control key pad for operationwithout a PC• portableMinitrough 3Microscopic analysis of monolayers are convenientlyperformed with the Minitrough 3. AMinitrough 1Minitrough 2quartz window in the bottom of the trough andeasily customized mechanics allow the troughto be fitted in most of the available Microscopes.• optical microscopy -air-water, oil-waterinterfaces• Brewster-angle microscopy• ellipsometry• laser beam and spectroscopic applications• X-ray reflectivity studiesExchangeable TroughsThe troughs are made of a cast-molded solidpiece of PTFE because it is inert and highly hydrophobic.Cleaning is made easy by roundingall inside corners of the trough. Three standardtroughs are available; isotherm trough, dippingtrough and microscopy trough. Troughs forbiological and custom applications are made tospecifications.Troughs are easilyand fast changedby hand only.Minitrough 3
