KSV Minimicro System 1S 

- Miniature Analytical Film Balance

PC controlled Langmuir Film balance for conventional analysis of monolayers at the air-water interface, and for microscopic and biological analysis of Langmuir films. Suitable for all conventional inverted fluorescence microscopes. 

Configuration includes

 
  • The KSV MiniMicro Control Module
  • Barrier drive
  • Film balance
  • Window trough
 

Unique features

  • Quartz window in the center of the trough for microscopy and spectroscopy.
  • Injection port to inject the solution to the subphase.

Common features

  • Symmetric 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 100cm2,(L195 x W51 x D4) subphase volume 40 ml
  • Subphase temperature control facilitated by aluminum heating/cooling base-plate controlled by external circulating water bath (bath sold separately)
  • Super-sensitive film balance with platinum Wilhelmy plate (51066), 100 paper plates (51066FP) and hook for the paper plates (51066FPH) 
  • Digital display of surface pressure
  • Complete KSV WINLB software for Windows operating systems
  • Comprehensive instruction manual and instructional video CD on how to set up the instrument and make basic measurements
  • Complete starter kit to make initial measurements (see accessory KSV-LBKIT)
