KSV 2000 System 2 - Langmuir-Blodgett on Large Samples
Langmuir-Blodgett instrument for unsupervised deposition of ordered multilayer LB-films on large solid substrates, as well as for all System 1 applications. Upgradable to System 3.
Configuration includes
- The KSV 2000 Control Module
- An Interface unit
- A Film balance system
- A Film deposition system
- A Symmetric compression trough with a dipping well
Unique Features
- A Dipping well in the centre of the trough
- Dipper - fully automatic and software controlled operation for LB-film deposition on solid substrates.
Common features
- Symmetric or one-sided compression of the monolayer by two inter-linked surface barriers
- Leak-proof hydrophilic Delrin barriers
- Form-sintered single piece, non-porous PTFE trough. Surface area 870 cm2, (580 x 150 mm)
- Subphase temperature control facilitated by aluminum heat/cool base plate operated by external circulating water bath (sold separately)
- Digital display for surface pressure value
- Super sensitive film balance with platinum Wilhelmy plate (51066), 100 paper plates (51066FP) and a hook for paper plates (51066FPH)
- Complete KSV WINLB software for Windows operating systems
- Comprehensive instruction manual and instructional video CD on how to set up the instrument and start making measurements
- Complete starter kit to make your first measurements (see accessory KSV-LBKIT)
- Optional remote control keypad for stand-alone use
- Optional environmental chamber to protect the instrument from airborne particles and other disturbances
