Premium systems to create thin film coatings with controlled packing density.
Overview
What you can do
Create functional coatings with nanoparticles (altering e.g. wettability, reflectivity, biocompatibility, conductivity, binding properties etc.)
Form model cell membranes at air-buffer interfaces and study the effects of toxins or pharmaceuticals on the cell membrane
Form thin polymer films for the study of polymer crosslinking, stability, degradation etc.
Study the interactions, adsorption, desorption, interfacial stability and structure of amphiphilic molecules
Interfacial rheological studies to determine film stability, phase transitions or reactions
Technology benefits
The Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett technologies have unique advantages leading to extensive usage of the method worldwide. These benefits include:
Precise control of molecular packing density
Precise control of coating thickness
Homogeneous deposition over large areas
Enables multilayer structures with varying layer composition
High flexibility in using different kinds of particles and substrates
Coating quality can be pre-monitored prior to deposition

3 reasons to invest
Quality
Single piece solid PTFE trough tops including the dipping well enable easy cleaning without any contaminating glues or coatings. Adjustable legs, trough top locating pins, barrier limit switches and overflow channels ensure safe and reliable use of the system.
