Nanoparticle Deposition
Specialists
Nikalyte have drawn on more than 20 years of experience to bring you the best nanoparticle deposition equipment available. Whether you’re an experienced user or just starting out, we have the equipment you need. Our systems and components operate under vacuum so all the background material impurities are removed, creating ultra-pure, non-agglomerated nanoparticles.

Ultra-pure Nanoparticle Technology
Nikalyte offers a range of nanoparticle deposition equipment to suit your application from benchtop recipe controlled deposition with the NL50 to UHV equipment with complete user control over nano particle size and composition. Alternatively take advantage of Nikalyte’s extensive experience with our bespoke coatings service.

UHV Nanoparticle Deposition
Deposit pure and alloy nanoparticles with fine control over size and composition.
Advantages of nanoparticles deposited in vacuum
Nanoparticles deposited in vacuum are free of hydrocarbons and other contamination which typically plague chemical techniques. Nanoparticles deposited in the NL50 are:
Monodisperse and non-clumping
Ultra-pure and crystalline
Hydrocarbon and ligand-free
Consistent and repeatable results
Deposit nanoparticles as needed directly onto the target substrate
The above properties enables vacuum deposited nanoparticles to boost performance and sensitivity whilst also reducing the required loading of expensive materials for applications such as SERs and catalysis.

What our customers say





Antiviral nanomaterials join the fight against SARS-Cov-2
Copper and silver have well-reported antiviral properties, while gold nanoparticles are helping to deliver early detection and antibody tests for Covid-19. With up to 1000 times larger active surface area nanoparticles offer the potential for enhanced properties compared to simple 2D surfaces in addition to reduced material costs. Nanoparticle coatings have also been shown to be highly effective at fighting viral transmission and infection, by suppressing viruses on a surface before they can infect a new host. The combined effect of the high surface area and natural virucidal properties make nano-coatings an important and cost-effective option for sanitizing high contact surfaces.
Our technology generates nanoparticles in vacuum which are ultra-pure, monodisperse, hydrocarbon free, and ideally suited for antiviral research. Contact us to find out more.
