OptoFluidic Force Induction

The new and patented OptoFluidic Force Induction is the result of years of research and development. Our groundbreaking technology for (nano-)particle measurement heralds a new era of nanoparticle characterization. With OF2i® you can:

Particles size, particle size distributions and particle concentrations can be analyzed faster and more accurately than ever before. OF2i® goes beyond the limitations of conventional methods for particle characterization such as DLS or NTA. It also detects ultra-low particle concentrations and measures from low sample volumes (from 20 µL). With the OF2i® devices there is the option of adding Raman analysis for detecting and identifying nanoparticles and microplastics. The technology also sets the foundation for a move to real-time release testing in production processes.

FAQs

There are no dumb questions.

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.
