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...

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. Figure 3: the VASCO Flex and its Optical Fibre Remote Head coupled to a commercial...

Developed by CORDOUAN Technologies, VASCO Flex is a unique fully versatile particle size analyzer that makes full use of advanced single mode optical fiber to bring DLS measurement to your process. Thanks to its innovative optical fiber remote head VASCO Flex can be implemented very simply to existing experimental setups like synthesis reactors, or SAXS systems, giving users maximum measurement agility to monitor and improve its process.
