The NanoSizer is a high throughput platform consisting of 10 individual small scale media mills assembled in one platform operating in parallel. Individually driven micro motors agitate a rotor in commercially available glass vials filled with the dispersion containing attrition milling media and the product to be milled. Milling speeds and duration time can be set per individual vial in order to search for the optimal process. A specific designed sealing ring on the shaft of the rotor assures no leakage or loss of material whilst not creating contamination of the dispersion. Special attention has been given to the mechanical design of rotors, shaft and holders in order to allow easy maintenance and cleaning of the apparatus.
This platform enhances the performance of the research lab significantly.
