NANOMIZER Inc.
Research Laboratory
We offer R&D and contract test services for the development of new materials and for the nanomization of various types of materials to our customers. Some of the equipment in our research laboratory is introduced below.
■ Nanomizer Processing
【 Preliminary Emulsification, Dispersion 】
High-Speed Mixer：CLM-0.8S（MTechnique）
HOMOGENIZER：AHG-160D（As One）
Propeller Mixer：SMT-101（As One）
Tube Mixer：VTX-3500（LMS）
The equipment above is used to perform preliminary emulsification
and dispersion prior to using our Nanomizer for further processing and
for the evaluation of additives and dispersion agents.

The data shown below is an example of a diesel oil-water emulsion.
It can be seen that after being processed by our Nanomizer, most of the water particles cannot be differentiated any more.
■ Analysis, Evaluation
Material samples processed by our Nanomizer are analyzed and evaluated using the particle size distribution analyzer and laser microscope below.
■ Dynamic Light Scattering Particle Size Analyzer（Nano S）：Malvern
■ Viscosity Meter（SV-1A）：A&D
■ Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyzer（SALD-7000）：Shimadzu Corporation
（The picture above shows the particle size
distribution of A-Heavy oil emulsion）
Depending on the particle size, the particle size distribution is measured using either the dynamic light scattering or the laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer. For nano-sized particles, the dynamic light scattering particle size distribution analyzer is used but to verify the existence of particles more than 6 μm in size, the laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer is used.
■ Laser Microscope（OPTELICS H1200）：Laser Tech
For observation of the particle size and verification of the agglomeration or dispersion state.

■ Stability Evaluation
■ Incubator（FMU-2611）：Fukushima Industries Corp.
Stability tests under controlled temperature conditions over short periods of up to a few hours and long periods of more than a month can be performed using the thermostatic chambers above.
