NanoSight Ltd is a company that designs and manufactures instruments for the scientific analysis of nanoparticles that are between approximately ten nanometers and one micron in diameter. The company was founded in 2003 by Bob Carr to further develop a technique he invented to visualize nanoparticles suspended in liquid. The company has since developed the technique of Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis, and they produce a series of instruments to count, size and visualize nanoparticles in liquid suspension using this patented technology.
The company’s current headquarters is in Amesbury, Wiltshire, UK. NanoSight has 25 employees in the UK and has received several awards and recognitions. More than 450 instruments had been sold as of 2012. The technology has been cited in at least 400 scientific publications.
NanoSight was acquired by Malvern Instruments on the 30th September 2013.
