Take a closer look at the configurations of
our BRAVE particle analysis modules for the laboratory
All benchtop modules require the BRAVE B-Curious Base Station (except BRAVE B-Phat standalone).
Configuration of the setup:
BRAVE B-Curious device for particle sizing with Fluid Automation Module, Control and Evaluation Module and software
BRAVE B-Curious Base Station
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.
Is the required base station for all other modules (except BRAVE B-Phat standalone).
Configuration of the setup:
BRAVE B-Curious device with BRAVE B-Aware software module for particle sizing, Fluid Automation Module, Control and Evaluation Module and software
BRAVE B-Aware Software-Module (beta version)
Detection of small particle signals and object counts
The BRAVE B-Aware software module is an optional extension for BRAVE B-Curious base station and currently available as beta version.
The BRAVE B-Aware module detects and tracks very small particles (from 5 nm) and delivers particle counts and particle concentration values.
Ideal for detecting the onset of aggregation and tracking sample behavior when very small particles are involved.
Continuous in-flow measurement.
Configuration of the setup:
BRAVE B-Curious with Fluid Automation Module, Control Evaluation Module, software & BRAVE B-Elementary for Raman analysis
BRAVE B-Elementary Hardware-Module
In-flow Raman analytics
The BRAVE B-Elementary hardware module is an optional extension for the BRAVE B-Curious base station.
The BRAVE B-Elementary module detects and identifies particles (<1 µm) and microplastics (1 µm to 50 µm) using Raman spectroscopy.
Automated measurement & minimum sample preparation for user-independent results.
Continuous in-flow measurement, ideal for detecting low particle concentrations, even with fluorescent substances.
Configuration of the setup:
Standalone BRAVE B-Phat for large particle detection with Fluid Automation Module, Control and Evaluation Module and software
BRAVE B-Phat Base Station
Large particle detection
The BRAVE B-Phat standalone device detects and sizes large particles based on dynamic imaging / obscuration principles.
Can be used to assess PFAT5 values, detect large aggregates, large-particle tails and anomalies.
Also useful for predictive maintenance.
Modules for sample handling
Every BRAVE device requires a Fluid Automation Module. The specifications and performance of this module depends on your sample and requirements. Get in touch!
