KSV - Instruments for nanoscale research

KSV is part of Biolin Scientific, a public company listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Biolin Scientific is a leading supplier of analytical instruments for the nanoscale study of interfaces. For further information, please visit www.biolinscientific.com.

KSV is the leading manufacturer of instruments for characterization of nanoscale films and study of surface molecular interactions, as well as ultra-thin film deposition. With over 20 years experience of developing instruments to measure contact angle, dynamic contact angle, surface tension and interfacial tension, monolayer properties, adsorption processes and much more provide you can feel secure about your new instrument. KSV is also the pioneer of nanoscale film deposition and has become the worlds largest manufacturer of Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett troughs as well as unique highly surface specific analytical instruments. Included in our product line are instruments like surface plasmon resonance (SPR), interfacial shear rheometer (ISR), reflection FT-IR with polarisation modulation (PM-IRRAS), and Brewster Angle Microscope (BAM).

By co-operating closely with key companies, and scientific and research institutes, we can keep our customers up to date on the latest developments. Customer satisfaction and excellent service is maintained by devoted personnel and a highly trained world-wide distributor network.

Learn more about our instrument selection by scrolling our pages or by downloading product brochures, flyers and application notes in PDF format from the Download section, or call your local distributor for more information.

If you don't find what you are looking for, do not hesitate to contact us directly. We can build you an instrument to fit your needs.

KSV's open-minded and friendly philosophy together with the motto "everything is possible" enables a flow of innovation and product development that produces quality solutions for KSV's instruments.

To be able to give first class service to our customers, we operate from two main locations: the corporate headquarters in Helsinki, Finland, and the North American sales offices in Connecticut and Maryland, U.S.A., as well as through our extensive network of distributors around the world.

Should you have any questions about surface chemistry and the investigative methods we employ, or about molecular films formed using Langmuir or Langmuir Blodgett troughs, don't hesitate to contact us or your local distributor.

Our Mission

KSV values its customer as its most important asset 

KSV exists to help their customers to

• better research and understand surface chemical phenomena
• better develop new methods and processes based on surface chemistry
• better monitor processes

We believe that this leads to

• new inventions enabling progress in surface chemistry
• shorter development times for new processes and methods
• better quality of manufactured products and processes based on surface chemistry

This all means better performance and/or economic advantage for our valued customers
