    NanoSight develops, manufactures and supplies a unique family of instruments for the visualisation and sizing of nanoparticles. Based on laser light scattering microscopy, our Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) technology is an exciting new capability that offers significant advantages over existing light scattering techniques for the characterisation of polydispersed populations of nano-scale particles. Independent of particle density or refractive index, NTA dynamically tracks individual particles within the range of 10 - 1,000nm, validates size distributions with a real-time view of particles, and provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis of sample concentration.

    NTA Particle Size Distribution


     


    NTA is commonly being employed alongside Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) / Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS) instruments in a variety of applications. Increasingly, however, users are recognising NTA's inherent ability to better deal with polydispersed samples as it avoids the inherent bias towards larger particles in DLS/PCS.

    Based in Salisbury, UK, NanoSight supports customer installations in the UK and Eire while our partners throughout the rest of the world help maintain this service.

    If you have a need for particle sizing, contacting NanoSight is easy.

    You will find detailed information on our nanoparticle sizing and the size distributions produced by our unique nanoparticle visualisation instruments available on this site.
