Langmuir Troughs

A Langmuir Trough is an instrument used to create, compress, and study molecular monolayers (single-molecule-thick films) at the air–liquid interface. It enables precise control of surface pressure and molecular packing, making it an essential tool for investigating lipid membranes, surfactants, polymers, proteins, and nanomaterials.

Specifications:

Langmuir Troughs are capable of supporting and compressing monolayer films at the air-water interface (surface-pressure / area isotherms).

Available troughs:

    • Model 312D:Surface area range 30–268 cm²
    • Model 712BAM: Surface area range 30–718 cm²
  • Minimum trough area: 30 cm²
  • Monolayer transfer: Integrated dipper system for Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) deposition onto solid substrates up to 3 mm thick.

 

Location: Building 51, Room 114
