Particle analytics with OF2i® + Raman
BRAVE Analytics introduces its particle analysis device which determines particle size and particle concentration and provides Raman analysis - continuously, in-flow and on a single-particle basis.
The new and patented OptoFluidic Force Induction for nanoparticle characterization is the result of years of research and development but it doesn’t stop there. With OF2i® you can:
Adding the BRAVE B-Elementary Raman analysis module to the OF2i® lab device gives you unique particle analytics so you can:
In cooperation with an Austrian university, the coupling of an OF2i®+Raman laboratory device with an ICP-MS is currently being tested. The initial results are promising. Scientific publications and a product launch will follow.
Adding a Raman analysis module to our nanoparticle analyzer makes it possible to measure particle size and particle concentration and also detect and analyze individual particles with Raman spectroscopy.
This correlative OF2i®-Raman device detects particles that are difficult to access by standard Raman microscopy:
BRAVE B-Elementary gives you the first-ever in-flow optical tweezers for chemical analysis and opens the door to coupling with ICP-MS.

The OF2i® principle will soon be available as a PAT solution for continuous online monitoring of (nano)particles during production. The BRAVE B-Continuous PAT sensor, which launches in 2024, runs 24/7 and lays the foundation for RTRT (Real-Time Release Testing).
BRAVE B-Continuous opens the door to:
BRAVEr & BETTER THAN THE REST.
UNIQUE COMBINATION
Uses the revolutionary OF2i® principle with a unique in-flow Raman analysis.
FAST & RELIABLE
Measures continuously and delivers a live data stream.
ACCURATE
Provides measurement results based on single-particle sensitivity.
REPRESENTATIVE
Delivers statistically valid results and not just average values.
EASY TO INTEGRATE
Integrates into your production process as an online PAT sensor or into your laboratory workflows as a benchtop analyzer.
CONTINUOUS

OF2i® integrates directly into the manufacturing process as an online PAT sensor. It continuously delivers measurement data in real-time so you can check, adjust and optimize your production processes.
Our nanoparticle analyzer for the lab BRAVE B-Curious is available to order now. The online PAT sensor BRAVE B-Continuous is currently being optimized and tested together with selected partners and will be available in 2024.
OF2i® has single-particle sensitivity. It can even detect ultra-low particle concentrations, single large particles or outliers, e.g. a few nanoplastic particles in one milliliter of water.
Quickly available measurement data is one of OF2i®’s many strengths. As soon as the measurement starts you can see a live stream of the particles in the H.A.N.S. software and results are ready immediately.
Contact us at sales@braveanalytics.eu. We will answer all your questions, offer a live demo either at your site or online and discuss further steps (including: a feasability study, comparison measurements, measuring campaign).
Yes, the lab device measures over minutes and even hours. As a PAT device BRAVE B-Continuous is made for 24-hour operation.
Absolutely. While established methods typcially deliver average values as results, OF2i® delivers number-based values with single-particle sensitivity. These results are statistically valid and representative of all the present particle populations.
