Nanoparticle Deagglomeration Technology

The Thinky PR-1 Nanoparticle Dispersion Machine from Intertronics is a desktop unit that can disperse carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene, and other 2D nanomaterials within a closed container.

The Thinky PR-1 Nanoparticle Dispersion Machine from Intertronics is a desktop unit that can disperse carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene, and other 2D nanomaterials within a closed container. The dispersion is consistent, highly reproducible, and is typically accomplished in a few minutes. The Thinky PR-1 uses mechanical rotation and multi-directional ultrasonics to achieve a rapid and even particle dispersion. The machine has a temperature limit control in the ultrasonic bath to counter the temperature rise of water and materials as a result of ultrasonic energy, avoiding changes in physical material properties. The system is compatible with quantities as small as a 5 mL capacity vial to a 200 mL capacity stainless steel container. The Thinky PR-1 can be used for applications in drug delivery, imaging, tissue engineering, and biosensors.
