BLASE
BLASE is a measurement solution that supports both particle count and particle size analysis using the Particle Tracking Analysis (PTA) method. It is suitable for low concentration ranges from 10,000 to 10 million particles and provides accurate UFB characterization for evaluation and quality control.

Wide Field-of-View Observation Function:
The BLASE Series is a state-of-the-art measurement solution featuring a wide observation area of approx. 3.3 mm × 0.8 mm, enabling efficient measurement across a wide field of view.
PTA (Particle Tracking Analysis) Measurement Function:
Using a camera and thin laser sheet illumination, BLASE performs real-time tracking of the Brownian motion of particles and evaluates UFBs based on the Particle Tracking Analysis (PTA) method.
Fast Particle Count Verification Function:
Particle count measurement is completed in approx.10 seconds. By measuring blank water and the sample after UFB generation, the number of generated bubbles can be confirmed by comparison.
Particle Size Analysis Function (BLASE / BLASE X):
Particle size is calculated by tracking Brownian motion and applying the Stokes–Einstein equation. BLASE performs parallel processing by dividing the field of view, enabling size analysis in approx.2 minutes.
Calibration & Standardized Measurement Function:
Calibration is performed using PSL standard particles (60 nm and 100 nm) with particle size, number concentration, and scattering characteristics similar to the measurement target. This enables measurement under consistent conditions across different measurements.
Certification & Intellectual Property:
Laboratories using the BLASE Series have been designated as testing laboratories by the Fine Bubble Industry Association (FBIA) since July 31, 2025, based on third-party verification in accordance with FBIA and ISO standards. In addition, the technologies used in the BLASE Series are patented.
