MASTERSIZER 3000 Smarter particle sizing

Rapid, reliable particle size measurements made easy. The Mastersizer 3000 is the latest generation of the world's most widespread particle sizing instrument, used by many thousands of companies and research institutes across a wide range of industries. Malvern Panalytical's considerable experience and applications know-how has gone into every stage of the design of the Mastersizer 3000 instrument, from fundamental particle sizing performance right through to user ergonomics and method advice. Innovative design Industry-leading design and ergonomics means the Mastersizer 3000 combines a stylish...

The Mastersizer 3000 combines a stylish and compact design with lots of practical features to help you get the most out of your instrument. Compact footprint The footprint of the instrument is only 69cm x 30cm, ensuring efficient use and productivity from your valuable bench space. The equally compact wet and dry dispersion accessories use common sample measurement cells for the same type of dispersion, further reducing the footprint required for multi-accessory systems. Automatic alignment and cell location Correct optical alignment is critical to getting accurate and repeatable particle size...

CLASS-LEADING PARTICLE SIZING PERFORMANCE The Mastersizer 3000 uses the technique of laser diffraction to measure particle size distributions from 10nm up to 3.5mm. Laser diffraction In a laser diffraction measurement a laser beam passes through a dispersed particulate sample and the angular variation in intensity of the scattered light is measured. Large particles scatter light at small angles relative to the laser beam and small particles scatter light at large angles. The angular scattering intensity data is then analyzed to calculate the size of the particles that created the scattering pattern...

With ever more demands placed on both instruments and users, software that is intuitive and easy to use is an essential requirement in the modern busy laboratory environment. The Mastersizer 3000 software guides users through every stage of a measurement, from method development to result reporting, reducing training requirements and making particle size measurement fast and routine.

STREAMLINED METHOD DEVELOPMENT The ability to view how the particle size result changes with dispersion conditions is an essential element to rapid method development within ISO and USP guidelines. BUILT-IN EXPERTISE It is good experimental practice to verify the quality of any measurements made in order to ensure the robustness of your results. Recognizing that not everyone can or wants to be an expert in laser diffraction measurements, we have incorporated a data quality expert within the software that will give you an objective assessment of the measurement quality together with practical...

The Mastersizer 3000E instrument is available with two different software package levels: The Mastersizer 3000 is highly regarded as being the premier instrument on the market for design, performance and software user experience. We realise, however, that not every customer needs or can afford all the functionality that the Mastersizer 3000 offers. The Mastersizer 3000E is an entry level addition to the Mastersizer product family based upon the proven design of the Mastersizer 3000 but with more basic performance and software functionality. Mastersizer 3000E Basic • Particle size range from 0.1...

MASTERSIZER 3000 SAMPLE DISPERSION OVERVIEW Sample dispersion is controlled by a range of wet and dry dispersion units. These ensure the particles are delivered to the measurement area of the optical bench at the correct concentration and in a suitable, stable state of dispersion to make accurate and reliable particle size measurements. AERO REDEFINING DRY POWDER DISPERSION Hydro - Rapid and effective wet dispersion accessories Hydro LV - A large volume automated dispersion unit suitable for applications where sample availability is not an issue or where larger volumes are required to ensure...

State-of-the art dry powder dispersion *Not available for Mastersizer 3000E Basic and Extended The Aero S dry powder disperser has been developed using state-of-the-art powder dispersion understanding. Modular in design, it is easily configured for different applications, delivering efficient sample dispersion for both robust and fragile materials. Disperse fragile and cohesive powders with ease In a dry powder disperser, sample dispersion is achieved by accelerating the dry powder particles through a venturi using compressed air. Three different dispersion mechanisms can act upon the sample:...
