Avid Nano has released an online video that demonstrates how its W130I dynamic light scattering (DLS) system with 5ul Bladecell disposable cuvettes is simplifying DLS measurement.
The video demonstrates the four-step protocol (load, measure, recover and dispose) that the company claims has made low-volume batch DLS measurements faster and more convenient.
The W130I DLS system has been engineered to meet the needs of research laboratories.
Avid Nano claims that the system delivers excellent performance from 5ul of sample in seconds.
The 5ul Bladecell cuvette is said to combine the convenience of a disposable sample holder with the measurement quality of a quartz cuvette.
To fill, 5ul of sample is pipetted against the alls of the Bladecell liquid trap where it is retained by surface tension.
The prepared cuvette is placed into the temperature-controlled sample holder of the Avid Nano W130I, where it can be analysed by DLS.
Following analysis, the sample is recovered by dipping a pipette tip into the liquid trap and removing the contents.
