Lab devices for particle analytics from BRAVE Analytics
We built our BRAVE particle analysis devices as a modular platform which can be configured to suit your requirements. Talk to us about your challenges and we will find the best solution for you. BRAVE instruments can be upgraded with additional modules at a later date. We can also support you in coupling them to your existing instrumentation. Get in touch!

Take a closer look at the configurations of
our BRAVE particle analysis modules for the laboratory
Configuration of the setup:
BRAVE B-Curious device with OF2i® detector module, Fluid Automation Module, Control and Evaluation Module & Software
BRAVE B-Curious
Particle sizing, PSD determination
BRAVE B-Curious determines the particle size distributions of polydisperse systems with single-particle sensitivity.
Delivers automated, continuous and time-resolved results.
Detects ultra-low particle concentrations as well as large-particle tails, LPC, anomalies and outliers.
Can be expanded with other modules (B-Aware software module, B-Elementary OF2i-Raman detector module).
*sample-dependent
Configuration of the setup:
BRAVE B-Curious device with OF2i® detector module, Fluid Automation Module, Control and Evaluation Module & Software
BRAVE B-Aware Software-Module (beta version)
Detection of small particle signals
The BRAVE B-Aware software module is an optional extension for BRAVE B-Curious and currently available as beta version.
The BRAVE B-Aware module detects the scattering signal of very small particles (from 5 nm*) and delivers the overall intensity as a bulk signal.
Ideal for detecting the onset of aggregation and tracking sample behavior when very small particles are involved.
Continuous in-flow measurement.
*sample-dependent
Configuration of the setup:
BRAVE B-Elementary with OF2i® detector module, OF2i®-Raman detector module, Fluid Automation Module, Control Evaluation Module & Software
BRAVE B-Elementary
In-flow Raman analytics
Built on the proven BRAVE B-Curious platform, the BRAVE B-Elementary adds Raman spectroscopy for particle identification.
The BRAVE B-Elementary detects and identifies particles (<1 µm*) and microplastics (1 µm to 50 µm*) using Raman spectroscopy.
Automated measurement and minimum sample preparation for user-independent results.
Continuous in-flow measurement, ideal for detecting low particle concentrations, even with fluorescent substances.
*sample-dependent
Configuration of the setup:
BRAVE B-Phat with OIM detector module, Fluid Automation Module, Control and Evaluation Module & Software
BRAVE B-Phat Base Station
Large particle detection
The BRAVE B-Phat device detects and sizes large particles based on dynamic imaging and obscuration principles.
Can be used to assess PFAT5 values, detect large aggregates, large-particle tails and anomalies.
Also useful for predictive maintenance.
*sample-dependent
Modules for sample handling
Every BRAVE system requires a Fluid Automation Module. Optional BRAVE B-Prepared dilution units can be tailored to your sample and process requirements.
BRAVE PAT sensors
All BRAVE technologies are available as PAT sensors for continuous process monitoring.
Applications include biotech formulations, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, semiconductor manufacturing and polymer production.
