For Immediate Release


US NANOPARTICLE MANUFACTURER OPENS ITS DOOR FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES

NanoGIANT LLC announces new standard in monodisperse silica nanospheres – in bulk

Phoenix, Arizona – Breaking into the nanoparticle manufacturing market, NanoGIANT LLC is now producing extremely uniform silicon dioxide (SiO2) spheres. Independent characterization laboratory Particle Characterization Laboratories, Inc. utilizing the Brookhaven Instruments 90Plus Particle Size Analyzer show a Polydispersity index of only 0.005 on NanoGIANT’s 368 nm sphere.

Unlike other narrow particle announcements, the clear differentiators for NanoGIANT are its ability to produce virtually uniform, affordable nanospheres quickly and in kilogram (kg) increments.

“Our ability to rapidly mass produce our spheres cost effectively while maintaining the polydispersity will prove to be a key advantage for our customers,” said Tony Whelan, VP of Business Development at NanoGIANT.

“Nanotechnology is still just scratching the surface of its true potential. Our spheres will allow the transition from research to development for technologies where narrow spheres had previously been inaccessible due to manufacturing limitations.
Our technology will open the floodgates for manufacturing using highly specialized materials. We believe that the cost savings our customers can achieve with our material will revolutionize manufacturing in dozens of sectors.” says Whelan

Sample spheres are available for sale online – http://www.nanogiant.org

Based in Phoenix, Arizona, NanoGIANT LLC is a privately owned research and development company, specializing in the proprietary manufacture of highly uniform silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles. The company focuses on producing very narrow particles for mass production in the nanotechnology industry.
