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!
BRAVE B-Continuous
PAT device for particle sizing
BRAVE B-Continuous is directly integrated into the manufacturing process as an online PAT sensor. It monitors your production in real-time, faster and more accurately than ever before. Shake off the restraints of offline particle sizing and move towards real-time release testing and more efficient production.
BRAVE B-Curious
Nanoparticle characterization
BRAVE B-Curious revolutionizes the measurement of particle size, PSD and particle concentration in the lab. It provides single-particle sensitivity and continuous results. Adding a BRAVE B-Elementary module gives you additional in-flow Raman analysis.
BRAVE B-Curious + B-Elementary module
Particle sizing + Raman analysis
Adding a BRAVE B-Elementary module to BRAVE B-Curious combines the benefits of OF2i® particle sizing and Raman analysis to determine particle concentration and particle size continuously and identify substances using Raman spectroscopy.
BRAVE B-Elementary makes Raman analysis easier than ever before. Your sample analysis will run without you, meaning you are free to get on with other work.

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.
Large-particle detection & sizing
Monitoring large-particle counts
Sample handling upgrade
For both lab and PAT
Additional automation upgrade
Cleaning and sample selection
BRAVE B-Curious implements a new approach to particle analysis: OF2i®. This new principle of particle characterization uses opto-fluidic forces to accelerate, decelerate, trap or even redirect nanoparticles. OF2i® (OptoFluidic Force Induction) allows you to measure particle size, particle size distributions and particle concentrations more exactly than ever before – with single-particle sensitivity and statistical relevance. Unlike established methods, the patented OF2i® method is not dependent on Brownian motion. With OF2i® you measure continuously and in real-time and can even resolve complex, polydisperse systems.
