Saturn DigiSizer® II High-Definition, Laser-CCD Digital Particle Size Analyzer

Saturn DigiSizer II High Definition, Laser-CCD Digital Particle Size Analyzer The Saturn DigiSizer II is designed with superior sensitivity to quantify outlier particles. It can accurately resolve small differences between particles in a sample distribution that are unseen by competitive instruments. Light scattering device accuracy/sensitivity is very dependent on the amount of available detectors that measure the angle of the scattering pattern produced by the laser system. Most instruments use photodiodes or arrays and have less than 150 detectors the Saturn DigiSizer features more than...

CCD- Patented Optical Design Provides superior particle discrimination versus photodiode-based systems. • The application of CCD technology provides the ability to deliver highly detailed, high resolution results across the entire measurement range without a need for two light sources and the data coordination between those sources required by photodiode array systems. This eliminates variability, interpolation, and the limiting of collected data points for accurate sizing. • Unlike photodiode-based systems, the Saturn DigiSizer II is automatically aligned by remapping the CCD array so that...

Saturn DigiSizer II High-Definition, Laser-CCD Digital Particle Size Analyzer This PSD History chart of 94 analyses of garnet illustrates the reproducibility of the Saturn DigiSizer II. High resolution of data permits Mie Theory to be applied directly – there are no compensation algorithms or concerns for the user to adjust for monomodal or multimodal samples. Patented reservoir rinse design sprays wall of chamber not a simple fill-and-flush cycle as with other instruments.

Liquid Sampling Advantages vs. Dry Powder Analysis Toxicity- Handling samples in a wet state makes control easier, reducing the risk of inadvertent inhalation Friability- Wet dispersion can provide more gentle dispersion for fragile particles. Particles can be fractured by the energy of a gas stream used with dry powders in an aerosol system Dispersion and Flow- Liquid suspension provides a higher degree of dispersion, with an improved ability of flow motion for greater discrimination Aggregation- Using dry techniques, cohesive and/or very fine particles (below 20 µm) can be difficult to...

Accessories | Low Volume Liquid Sample Handling Unit Optional accessory includes a reservoir that is adjustable between 100 to 120mL of dispersed sample. It can circulate particles from 0.04 to 750 (im in diameter. Very useful when sample quantity is limited, supply of dispersion liquid is limited, or if dispersion liquid is hazardous and disposal difficult. | AquaPrep Highly-effective optional system for freeing water of dissolved gases. The removal of dissolved gases that subsequently lead to bubble formation is extremely desirable for obtaining the most accurate particle size data...
