NanoSight

NanoSight delivers the world’s most versatile and proven multi-parameter nanoparticle analysis in a single instrument.

NanoSight visualizes, measures and characterizes virtually all nanoparticles. Particle size, concentration, zeta potential and aggregation can all be analyzed while a fluorescence mode provides speciation of labeled particles. NanoSight provides real time monitoring of the subtle changes in the characteristics of particle populations with all of these analyses uniquely confirmed by visual validation.

NanoSight’s “Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis” (NTA) detects and visualises populations of nanoparticles in liquids down to 10nm, dependent on material, and measures the size of each particle from direct observations of diffusion. This particle-by-particle methodology goes beyond traditional light scattering and other ensemble techniques in providing high-resolution particle size distributions. Additionally, NanoSight measures concentration and validates all data with video files of the particles moving under Brownian motion.

NanoSight’s comprehensive characterization matches the demands of complex biological systems, hence its wide application in development of drug delivery systems, viral vaccines, nanotoxicology and in biomarker detection. This real-time data also provides insight into the kinetics of protein aggregation and other time-dependent phenomena in a qualitative and quantitative manner.

Biomarker identification is growing as a key application for NanoSight. The company holds the leading position for the characterization of exosomes, a sub-set of the biomarker/biodiagnostic sector of medical research. Market-leading growth is also observed in the study of virus/vaccine particles and nanotoxicology.

NanoSight demonstrates worldwide success through rapid adoption of NTA, having installed more than 600 systems worldwide with users including BASF, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Proctor and Gamble, Roche and Unilever together with the most eminent universities and research institutes. In addition to this user base more than 800 third party papers citing NanoSight results consolidate NanoSight’s leadership position in nanoparticle characterization.
