KSV 5000 Series

- The Most Sophisticated LB Devices Available

The foundation of the KSV 5000 is the modular Langmuir trough which can be converted from conventional film balance to high performance Langmuir-Blodgett instrument or fully-equipped alternating multilayer device.

The heart of the KSV 5000 is the control module, the rest of the system built around it using the desired functional modules and accessories. After proper set-up and calibration at the factory, the functional modules are simply plugged into the control module and the system is ready to use.

The KSV 5000 Series is available in three basic modular configurations, however the modularity of the KSV 5000 means that the configuration can be upgraded at any time.
