VASCO Flex Remote Particle Size Analyzer
VASCO Flex Remote Particle Size Analyzer
The document introduces the VASCO FlexTM, a nano-particle size analyzer developed by CORDOUAN Technologies. It is designed for in situ nano-particle size measurements using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) technology. The VASCO FlexTM is particularly useful in industries where nano-materials are increasingly used, such as health, medicine, energy, and electronics.
DLS Measurement Principle
Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is a technique used to measure the size of nano-particles by analyzing light scattered by particles in motion. Traditional DLS setups require batch sampling, which is not ideal for real-time process monitoring. The VASCO FlexTM addresses this by bringing the measurement to the process.
VASCO Flex Innovative Approach
The VASCO FlexTM features an Optical Fiber Remote Head (OFRH) that integrates both the sample illumination and light collection systems. It uses single-mode optical fibers for robust and compact process monitoring. The system is designed for easy integration into various environments and can accommodate different measurement configurations.
Advantages and Benefits
The VASCO FlexTM is compact, robust, and cost-effective. It allows for non-contact, in situ measurements and is easy to implement, even for non-experienced users. The system is versatile and can be used in various configurations, providing highly reliable data analysis.
Examples of Integration
Two examples of VASCO FlexTM integration are provided: coupling with a SAXS bench for simultaneous DLS and SAXS measurements, and integration into a high-pressure chemical reactor for polymer nano-particle synthesis.
Conclusion
The VASCO FlexTM is a versatile particle size analyzer that enhances process monitoring by integrating advanced optical fiber technology into existing setups. It offers significant advantages in terms of measurement agility and reliability.
References
The document cites several references related to particle characterization and light scattering methods.

The VASCO flex innovative approach TM VASCO Flex is a unique and fully agile nano-particle size analyzer based on DLS measurement. At the heart of the VASCO Flex system is the Optical Fiber Remote Head (OFRH). The OFRH integrates into the same case housing both the sample illumination optical system and the scattered light collector. The illumination and the collector systems are made of two optimized optical collimators, one used as condenser and the other as a focuser (see figure 2) The OFRH is linked to a central unit with an optical fiber patch cord which integrates two single mode fibers:...

Examples of VASCO Flex integration Below are two examples of VASCO flex integration into existing setup: The first one is the coupling of DLS measurement to a commercial SAXS bench. This system allows simultaneous DLS +SAXS measurement of a sample into the same glass capillary; Such coupling could be very interesting in application like the one described in ref [4] and [5] where simultaneous measurement by complementary techniques allows a better understanding of the nano-particles behavior and structure.
