The NS2

We are pleased to offer the NS2 NanoSpectralyzer®, the world's first three-in-one spectrometer for carbon nanotubes. The NS2 provides all of model NS1’s state-of-the-art capabilities for analyzing SWCNT samples through near-IR fluorescence and absorption. In addition, the NS2 captures Raman spectra of all CNTs, whether single-walled,

multi-walled, aggregated, large diameter, or chemically altered. All spectra are automatically measured with a single placement of the sample cuvette. Sophisticated software then performs integrated data analysis to characterize

the CNT sample. The NS2 retains the same small footprint and convenient operation as the award winning NS1.
