IG-1000 by Shimadzu Corporation

Going beyond the single nano region and into the sub-nano region, the IG-1000 uses the induced grating (IG) method, which is based on a new principle for measuring the size of nanoparticles using the phenomenon of induced electrophoresis and diffracted light, to provide excellent reproducibility and the acquisition of stable data, particularly for sub-10 nm particles. The IG method does not use scattered light, is free from physical restrictions and does not require the input of the refractive index as a measurement condition. As a result, the IG-1000 can measure the size of nanoparticles simply and with high sensitivity, and is particularly effective for the analysis of single nanoparticles.
