Nanosight Limited

Company description

The NanoSight Pro, developed by Malvern Panalytical, is a nanoparticle analyzer which uses laser modules and fluorescence signals to provide high-resolution size and concentration data for nano- and biomaterials. The NS Xplorer software enables intelligent and automated measurements, eliminating human error and improving efficiency.

Malvern Panalytical develops and manufactures analytical instruments for characterizing and measuring materials.

NanoSight visualizes, measures and characterizes virtually all nanoparticles. Particle size, concentration, zeta potential and aggregation can all be analyzed while a fluorescence mode provides speciation of labeled particles. NanoSight provides real time monitoring of the subtle changes in the characteristics of particle populations with all of these analyses uniquely confirmed by visual validation. http://www.nanosight.com/

Project impact

In 2011 NanoSight won Technology World's 2011 Business Innovation Award and was recognised by Deloitte as the UK's Fastest Growing Biotech Company . In 2012 NanoSight wins Queen's Award for Enterprise for International Trade, having achieved their 450th instrument sale with more than 400 third party papers citing NanoSight technology. Much of this success has come directly from our collaboration with them in which we use their technology to measure microvesicles and exosomes in biological fluids. 2011 NanoSight wins Technology World's 2011 Business Innovation Award NanoSight Recognised by Deloitte as the UK's Fastest Growing Biotech Company in their 2011 Technology Fast 50 Rankings 2013 On the basis of the above success, Nanosight Ltd was sold to Malvern Instruments for £15 million.
