Particle Analyzer
nCS2™ Particle Analyzer
Fast, accurate nanoparticle size and absolute concentration using MRPS electrical sensing — from a single 3 µL sample. Measures any particle type regardless of optical properties, from 50 nm to 10 µm, with results in minutes.
Why the nCS2
Accurate sizing for any sample, in minutes
Upgrade path to the ARC
The nCS2 and ARC share the same chassis and platform. When your research expands into single-particle fluorescence — payload quantification, EV phenotyping, or viral vector loading — the nCS2 upgrades directly to a full ARC without replacing your instrument.
MRPS vs. Light Scattering
Where DLS and NTA fall short
DLS and NTA measure bulk optical properties and cannot reliably resolve polydisperse samples. MRPS measures each particle individually by electrical displacement, delivering accurate size distributions and absolute concentration even in complex, multi-population samples.
Validated against CryoTEM
MRPS sizing has been independently validated against cryogenic transmission electron microscopy — the accepted gold standard for nanoparticle sizing. Read the application note for head-to-head data.

Applications
Built for the samples that matter most
The nCS2 measures particle types that conventional light-scattering instruments struggle with — low optical contrast, polydisperse, and precious biological samples requiring minimal volume.
