The Kibron Force Sensor KBN-325 is a core component used in Kibron's MicroTrough systems. It is a high-precision sensor that uses an optical detection system to measure the force exerted on a quartz spring. This digital sensor is designed for high sensitivity and repeatability in force measurements and connects via USB. It is an essential component for instruments that perform surface and interfacial tension analysis.

The Kibron Delta-Pi-4 is a four-channel Langmuir-tensiometer. It is designed for higher throughput studies in surface chemistry and biology compared to the single-channel Delta-Pi. The instrument allows for the simultaneous measurement of surface tension in four parallel wells, making it efficient for studying the binding and interaction of drugs, peptides, and proteins with lipid monolayers. Like the single-channel version, it is used to create and analyze Langmuir films, which serve as models for biological membranes, and it can operate with small subphase volumes to conserve valuable samples.

The Kibron Delta-Pi is a single-channel Langmuir-tensiometer. This instrument is designed for research in surface chemistry and biology, allowing for the precise measurement of surface tension and the study of molecular interactions at the air-water interface. It is specifically used to investigate the binding of molecules like drugs, peptides, and proteins to lipid monolayers, which serve as models for cell membranes. The system uses a sensitive wire probe (DyneProbe) and can work with very small sample volumes (as low as 150 microliters), making it suitable for research with valuable or scarce materials. It is a tool for creating and characterizing Langmuir films.
