BRAVE B-Curious
Monitor nanoparticle behavior in real-time
Everyone who has worked with the conventional methods for nanoparticle characterization in the lab already is familiar with the feeling of discontent – or even frustration – resulting from the limits of measurability. Dynamic Light Scattering, Nanoparticle tracking Analysis and Laser Diffraction only allow limited insights into the actual particle behavior and typically struggle to measure ultra-low particle concentrations. Get ready for BRAVE B-Curious, which lets you analyze particle behavior continuously and in real-time over minutes and hours. The results have single-particle sensitivity based on measurement of up to 2500 particles per minute. This makes them statistically relevant and representative of the whole particle population. With this time-resolved approach you can monitor kinetic processes like aggregation, condensate formation, agglomeration, dissolution or dissociation and analyze them in real-time and in one continuous measurement.
With BRAVE B-Curious you can:
BRAVE B-Curious helps you overcome many of the limitations of conventional methods. For the first time ever, you can monitor particles in real-time and continuously over a time period you define. You get unprecedented insights into your processes and the behavior of particle populations – an open door to groundbreaking discoveries.

We built BRAVE B-Curious as a modular platform, so you can configure it to perfectly suit your needs. Our experts will work together with you on a custom-tailored setup. Your BRAVE B-Curious will be aligned with your needs and ideal for your research – with the possibility of future upgrades and additional modules at a later date.
Module for concentration determination
Allows the detection of ultra-low concentrations (e.g. nanoplastics or water for injections) at particle concentrations down to a few particles per milliliter.
Module for time-resolved sizing
Allows the monitoring of PSD continuously and directly out of containers. This way you can monitor sample behavior such as agglomeration, formation, dissolution, aggregation, dissociation, self-assembly and more. Detection range: 50 nm* to 5 µm* (*sample-dependent)
Module for size range extension
Allows the detection of large-particle tails, LPC, aggregation behaviors and anomalies. Detection range: 50 nm* to 50 µm* (*sample-dependent)
Module for particle analytics
Allows the identification and characterization of particle populations via Raman spectroscopy. Adding this module makes a BRAVE B-Elementary device.
Module for low-volume sizing
Allows the determination of PSD from low volumes, starting at 20 µl (sample-dependent)
Module for Raman tweezers
Allows the trapping of particle populations for characterization with Raman spectroscopy. Adding this module makes a BRAVE B-Elementary device.
BRAVE B-Curious is the ideal instrument for groundbreaking research in the field of nanoparticle characterization and offers a new approach. You obtain unprecedented insights into particle behavior, sample processes and a complete overview of the particle populations.
