Biolin Scientific KSV NIMA Nanoparticle Deposition
Package solution for nanoparticle deposition.
With Langmuir-Blodgett Medium system, MicroBAM and Langmuir-Schaefer.
System for creating thin films and coatings with nanoparticles.
The system provides full control of phase transitions and specific molecular area and visually checks quality and packing patterns before horizontal deposition on a solid substrate.
All tools in one package – KSV NIMA Nanoparticle Deposition.
Nanoparticle Deposition consists of:
- Langmuir-Blodgett medium trough
- MicroBAM (Brewster Angle Microscope)
- Langmuir Schaefer horizontal substrate holder
Langmuir-Blodgett/Schaefer compared to other coating techniques:
- Precise control of gasket density
- Precise control of film thickness
- Homogeneous coating over relatively large areas
- Room environment
- Multi-storey with varying storage structure
- Flexibility in the choice of particles/molecules and substrates
- The film quality, packing density and packing pattern can be optically checked before transfer to substrates.
Quality and performance
The troughs, including the LB well, are made from one piece of PTFE – easier cleaning and no risk of contamination from glues and coatings.
Adjustable legs – no matter where you place the tray, you can create a horizontal surface Tray positioning locator pins – no matter which of the interchangeable trays you use, it always mounts in the correct position in the frame Barrier position switches – no need to worry about breaking barriers, damaging the motor or other parts of the system Flood channel – any liquid that spills over the edge of your tray does not end up on the lab bench, but is captured by an external channel, which runs around the entire tray.
Thermostatically controlled trays for relevant and constant temperature

Application
Langmuir (L) and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) are used in several fields, where liquid thin films are studied (Langmuir films) and/or transferred to solid substrates in one or more well-organized layers (Langmuir-Blodgett).
With MicroBAM, in addition to reading different phase transitions and maximum packing density in an isotherm, one can also follow the process visually.
Areas of application for LB
The film quality, packing density and packing pattern can be checked before transfer to substrates.
This avoids unnecessary time and effort in depositing substandard films.
When you want to optimize parameters for the production and transfer of your thin films, it is a great help to follow the process visually.
Parameters that are important for a good LB film deposition are the compression rate of the barriers, waiting time, temperature and sub-phase composition.
Areas of application for Langmuir
- Study a monolayer / thin film.
You can see phase changes, phase separation, domain formation, size, shape and packing patterns. - Follow surface reactions in real time, such as photochemical reactions, enzyme kinetics and polymerization.
- Study surfactant materials and processes such as protein adsorption or nanoparticle flotation.
Technology
The camera provides a spatial resolution of 12 micrometers, which together with a wide field of view, provides an optimal system for viewing film homogeneity and studying domains.
You can take still images whenever you want manually -or automatically as a function of time or surface tension/pressure.
