OVERVIEW

Electro-spray differential mobility analysis ("ES-DMA") is a powerful method for the detection and characterization of nano-particles in the size range of 1-200 nanometers.  Our systems integrate the middle two of the four step ES-DMA process:

1. Sample preparation (various)

2. Aerosolization & Ionization (ES)

3. Particle separation (DMA)

4. Detection (various)

 

Gas phase samples can bypass the aersolization step.

 

NanoEngineering systems incorporate patented improvements to electro-spray ionization and high resolution DMA in a computer controlled, safe, easy-to-use benchtop cabinet, packaging the most challenging elements of the method.  Sample preparation and detection are external to NanoRanger, allowing researchers to configure a system to their unique requirements and to integrate with existing lab accessories.

MULTI-STEP PROCESS

Liquid samples are aerosolized, ionized and neutralized (to maximize +1,2 and 3 charges) after sample preparation. Gas samples require only ionization. Note gas sample testing may often require calibration with liquid samples.
