The Kibron core technology is applied in all Kibron products. The technique brings the following key benefits into surface chemistry:

• sensitivity and precision (microbalance resolution better than 0.2 micrograms)
• need for very small sample volumes only (minimally 45 microliters)
• high measurement speed (96 measurements minimally in 3 minutes)
• ease of use and flexibility

The resolution of the Kibron microbalance is better than 0.2 micrograms enabling real-time observations of even minor and rapid changes in surface pressure, without the need for signal integration. You really see real time data!

The Kibron microbalance is insensitive to vibrations, allowing experiments to be made practically everywhere (no need for a vibration isolation table).

The Kibron microbalance allows also for the use of very thin probes, without sacrificing sensitivity. The small size of the measuring probes allows consequently for the use of small sample volumes, beneficial for industries using expensive materials or samples of limited availability. Small sample volumes mean also better sample mixing and thermostation, when required.

In the fully automated Kibron Delta-8 a multichannel sensor measures eight samples simultaneously, only 50 microliters each, deposited in a cuvette of the standard 96-well plate format. The measurement of all 96 samples takes 3-10 min, yielding unprecedented productivity and new possibilities to physicochemical profiling and high throughput screening of critical micelle concentrations, for instance. The measurement is completed by fully automated analysis of the recorded data by CMCeeker, our unique, truly powerful tool for your laboratory. Kibron - automated all the way from the measurement to the comprehensive, informative report on your screen, with all data securely stored in the dedicated database.

Kibron technology brings also benefits to single channel measurements. With the portable Kibron AquaPi tensiometer one measurement takes less than 30 seconds and requires only a 3 ml sample.
