A powerful tool for nanoscopic size analysis and detection
About the technology
Nanospacer is a specially designed microscope coverslip which makes it possible to observe particles at nanoscale by using a standard optical microscope. Simply explained, the device consists of a transparent coverslip attached to a bottom substrate, creating a nanospacer between the layers (fig 1A).
Resources
- Research Council Norway commercialization grant
- Patent pending
- Prototypes ready for end-user testing
- Norinnova as commercialization partner
Value proposition
Simplicity – Minimal training needed. In addition to the Nanospacer, all you need is a conventional optical microscope and a camera
Affordable – significantly cheaper compared to conventional nanofluidic systems
Versatility – can be used to observe any nanoparticles
Opportunities for Collaboration
Nanospacer has already demonstrated its versatility in sizing extracellular vesicles, viruses, and a wide range of other particles with precision. But this is just the beginning. Our technology is in an exciting exploratory phase, uncovering applications across diverse fields.
We have functional prototypes ready and are actively seeking innovative partners and end-users to test and refine the Nanospacer concept. Your feedback is crucial, and we’re eager to collaborate to tailor Nanospacer to meet your unique requirements.
