BI-200SM Research Goniometer and Laser Light Scattering System

The BI-200SM goniometer is a world class Static Light Scattering (SLS) instrument at the research level.

Key features:
• nanoparticle characterization
• particle size distributions
• protein and polymer characterization
• molecular weight
• complex fluid characterization

The Brookhaven Instruments’ BI-200SM system opens the door to the rich fields of exploration of both Static Light Scattering (SLS) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS).

The BI-200SM Research Goniometer System provides access to these studies with an automatic, modular and versatile system. It is a precision instrument designed for exacting scattering measurements. Based on a special turntable with precision ball bearings and stepping motor, the BI-200SM’s modern design and quality construction guarantee precise measurements due to the wobble-free movement of the detector. It is field-proven in thousands of laboratories and ideal for molecular studies and submicron particle sizing.

Typical applications:
• particle size distribution
• particle aggregation phenomena
• micellar systems
• micro-emulsion technology
• colloid behaviour
• vesicles and liposomes
• plasmid DNAs
• particle size growth
• nucleation processes and protein crystallization.
