KSV 5000 System 2
- The Full Size Langmuir-Blodgett Instrument
PC controlled fully automatic Langmuir-Blodgett device for unsupervised fabrication of multilayer LB-films on solid substrates and for analysis of monolayers. Stable backing frame with motorized height elevators for accurate positioning of the film balance and dipping mechanism onto the air-water interface.
Configuration includes:
- The KSV 5000 Control Module
- A Film balance system
- A Film deposition system
- A symmetric compression trough with a dipping well
Unique Features
- Glue free sealing of the dipping well
- Dipper for fully automatic and software controlled LB-film depositions on solid substrates
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 facilitated 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)
