PARTICLE SIZE & SHAPE leading technique for analyzing particle size in both research and industry settings. It is renowned for its precision, versatility and its broad range of applications measuring particle sizes from 10 nanometers to 4 millimeters. The particle size is measured by detecting the angular intensity of the scattered light. Small particles scatter light at large angles, while large particles scatter light at small angles relative to the laser beam. The SYNC uses a state-of-the-art laser diffraction architecture with a unique Tri-Laser arrangement. The scattered light can be measured...

MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION The SPECIFIC SURFACE AREA is calculated via BET theory. This theoretical model can be applied to either single point or multi-point adsorption measurements. The single-point BET is often used for quality control applications. More accurate data can be obtained by multi-point BET. The PORE SIZE DISTRIBUTION via gas adsorption is measured through N2, Ar or CO2 isotherms as a standard, enabling analysis of the pore size from several hundred nanometers down to the molecular size range. The following methods can be utilized for CATALYST EVALUATION: temperature-programmed...
