Vasco Kin
Description
The VASCO KIN™ is a new generation of Time-Resolved instrument for accurate kinetic analyses combined with an in situ and contactless remote optical head. It allows to monitor in Real Time nanoparticles synthesis, agglomeration or the stability of suspensions.
With a single and continuous measurement, VASCO KIN™ gives access to all characterization data of a reaction (size distribution, scattered intensity, correlogramms, etc.).
