Kibron Inc. develops and manufactures surface chemistry equipment and screening technology to meet today's challenges in industry, from process control to R&D, in addition to an excellent track record in delivering unique high precision equipment to leading academic research laboratories. We know surface chemistry all the way from basic science to diverse industrial processes and products. Major international companies rely on Kibron technology - and so can you.

Kibron technology allows for

• optimization of surfactant, polymer and oil based product formulations by chemical and home & beauty care industries > high throughput CMC screening
• accurate and cost-efficient in vitro prediction of phospholipidosis (PLD) risk, as well as comprehensive physicochemical profiling (in vitro ADME/tox, QSAR, soubility) of compounds in the pharmaceutical industry   > drug discovery
• high precision surface chemistry research by academic and industrial laboratories > Langmuir-Blodgett troughs and Langmuir tensiometers
• on-line monitoring of surface tension in process control
• on site measurement of surface tension using portable, battery operated equipment, from the class room to the monitoring of water quality in the field  > AquaPi.

As a result of thorough research, dedication, and our state of the art proprietary technology, Kibron now stands as the unchallenged technology leader in in the measurement of surface tension of liquids, from basic research all the way to high throughput screening (HTS) in industry. From petrochemicals to cosmetics, food, paper, inks, printing, pharmaceuticals - Kibron is your provider of robust high precision instrumentation for surface chemistry R&D.

By continuous development of new products and features, we aim to further strengthen our position on the market, serving our customers even better.

Milestone products by Kibron:

• Microtrough X, the original, first miniaturized multipurpose Langmuir-Blodgett trough, with lowest subphase volumes, hundreds in use around the world.
• DeltaPi, a unique Langmuir tensiometer for studying penetration of proteins, peptides etc. into lipid monolayers.
• AquaPi, portable, battery operated tensiometer, using the duNouy-Padday maximum pull method, with truly unprecedented precision. Real value for your budget!
• Delta-8, our flagship plate reader, screening surface tension from 45 microliter (!) samples contained in a 96-well microplate. Full readout for 96 samples can be obtained in less than two minutes. Fully automated with e.g Hamilton. Beckman and Eppendorf liquid handling robotics.
• DeltaPi-4X, four channel Langmuir tensiometer for high throughput measurement of drug-lipid and peptide-lipid interaction. Minimum subphase volume of 150 microliters.
• MicroSpot, high resolution miniaturized surface potential probe for the characterization of lipid film with unbeatable precision and signal to noise ratio.
