KSV 5000 System 1
- Analytical Langmuir Film Balance
Fully automated Langmuir Film balance with PC-control for analysis of monolayers. Constructed on a stable backing frame, with a motorized height elevator for accurate positioning of the film balance and Wilhelmy plate at the air-water interface.
Configuration includes:
- The KSV 5000 Control Module
- Hydrophilic Delrin barriers and belt-driven barrier drive
- A super-sensitive Wilhelmy balance with Wilhelmy plate
- A symmetric compression trough
Common features
- Symmetrical or one-sided barrier compression with two inter-linked surface barriers
- Hydrophilic Delrin barriers that prevent leakage under the barrier during compression
- Form-sintered single piece, non-porous PTFE trough
- Super-sensitive film balance with platinum Wilhelmy plate and 100 paper plates and paper plate hook
- Complete KSV WINLB software for Windows operating systems
- Comprehensive instructions manual and instructional video CD on how to set up the instrument and how to make basic experiments
- A Complete starter kit to make first experiments (see accessory KSV-LBKIT)
- Subphase temperature control facility by aluminum heat/cool base plate operated by external circulating water bath (sold separately)
- Remote control keypad for operation of the instrument without PC control (sold separately)
