KSV 5000 - Most Sophisticated LB system available
KSV 5000 System is a modular Langmuir trough system which expands from a conventional film balance to a high performance Langmuir-Blodgett instrument or to a fully equipped alternating multilayer Langmuir-Blodgett system.

The heart of the KSV 5000 system is the mainframe module and the system set-up is built around it by using the modules and accessories. All the
modules are easily plugged into the mainframe and the system set-up is factory installed and ready to use. The configuration can be up-graded later with various accessories and modules.
KSV 5000 System is available in three basic modular set-ups: System 1, System 2 and System 3.Barrier drives included in each system can be used for both single sided or symmetric compression.
Although all systems include one standard trough it is possible to use almost any kind of custom made trough (width, length, depth, symmetric or single sided compression etc.) with the different systems.
KSV 5000 System 1
Langmuir film balance for conventional monolayer analyses and Langmuir-Film experiments. Biomembrane and enzyme kinetic reaction studies. Upgradable to System 2 and 3.
Standard System 1 configuration:
+
Mainframe with power supply, computer interface and displays for measuring parameters
+
One elevator arm and one barrier drive
+ Film balance with a platinum Wilhelmy plate
+ Trough made of one solid piece of PTFE with 2 Delrin barriers
+ Remote control key pad for operation of the instrument without PC control
+
Software written in C++ compatible with all Windows operating systems
KSV 5000 System 2
Langmuir-Blodgett instrument for unsupervised deposition of ordered multilayer LB-films and for KSV 5000 System 1 applications.
Upgradable to System 3.
Standard System 2 configuration:
+
Mainframe with power supply, computer interface and displays for measuring parameters
