Malvern Instruments Ltd (Malvern, UK) reports that it has acquired the exclusive rights to patented technology from ALV GmbH (Langen, Germany). The technology, which is known as NIBS (non-invasive backscatter), enables the reliable measurement of submicron particles over a wide range of sample concentrations in a single instrument.
The technology comprises a patented optical system with a unique layout that offers high sensitivity combined with the ability to measure at high sample concentrations. Traditional approaches to the measurement of submicron particles require that the instrument design is focussed on either high concentration or high sensitivity, whereas the NIBS technology is equally adept at both.
