The NL50 benchtop nanoparticle deposition system is a compact, user-friendly tool that is perfect for shared research or teaching laboratories.
Researchers and students can simultaneously use the NL50 system on a wide range of projects without being concerned about cross-contamination. The system provides an ideal introduction to nanotechnology.
The NL50 benchtop nanoparticle deposition system is ideal for:
- Teaching and training
- Shared research laboratories
- Multidisciplinary teams
Features of NL50
Easy to Use
All vacuum operations are managed by a simple user interface. All users need to do is input the loaded material together with the preferred nanoparticle weight/loading requirements. With improved settings meant for common materials, users can start depositing the preferred nanoparticles directly. No prior experience of nanoparticles or vacuum is needed.

Flexible
A single NL50 nanoparticle deposition system can deposit an array of materials, such as Au, Ag, Pt, Cu, Zr, Ti, Mo, Co, Ni, etc., onto a variety of substrates, like plastic, glass, metals, SEM stubs, TEM grids, microwell plates, etc.
Easy-to-Change Materials
The NL50 nanoparticle deposition system can be used simultaneously in many different projects. Source material exchange can be done in a few minutes using just a screwdriver.
No Cross-Contamination
When changing materials, the substrate stage can be easily cleaned to eliminate cross-contamination.

Safe to Use
All pneumatics and high-voltage outlets are interlocked to safeguard the user. The nanoparticles are attached to the substrate and to the insides of the chamber, which means the use of simple PPE, like face masks and gloves, will protect users from unwanted exposure.
Robust Design
The interlocks and fully contained design ensure that even non-expert users cannot break costly components, like power supplies or pumps.
