PARTICLE SIZE & SHAPE ANALYSIS LASER DIFFRACTION (LD) has become the most widely used technique among both suppliers and users of particulate systems in research and industry. It is now a standard for outgoing and incoming particle size quality control, providing the equivalent spherical diameter (ESD) in volume % over a typical range from 10 nanometers to 2-3 millimeters. In a laser diffraction measurement, a laser beam is passed through a well-dispersed sample. The particle size is measured by detecting the intensity of the scattered light. Small particles scatter light at large angles,...

PARTICLE SIZE & SHAPE ANALYSIS Dynamic Light Scattering & Zeta Potential Microtrac MRB‘s innovative approach on DYNAMIC LIGHT SCATTERING (DLS) is based on a unique probe design. By focusing the laser probe at the material interface, the benefits of a short path length are combined with Reference Beating and 180° backscatter, delivering excellent accuracy, resolution and sensitivity. NANOTRAC FLEX | external “dip-in” probe with 180° backscatter | automated titration device that uses pH as the controlling variable | allows for turning any vessel into a sample cell | bubble-free pumping &...

PARTICLE SIZE & SHAPE ANALYSIS Information about particle size & shape is an important aspect of process and quality control. All DYNAMIC IMAGE ANALYSIS (DIA) systems by Microtrac MRB determine the particle shape of the sample material in a detailed and representative manner. Due to its superior capability, dynamic image analysis is often used as an alternative to conventional methods such as sieve analysis or laser diffraction. The unique dual camera measuring setup of the CAMSIZER P4 / X2 makes it possible to measure an extremely wide dynamic size range accurately, without having to...

Surface Area & Pore Size Distribution 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 data can be obtained by multi point BET. The PORE SIZE DISTRIBUTION via gas adsorption is measured through an N2 or Ar adsorption isotherm, enabling analysis of the pore size from several hundred nanometers down to the molecular size range. | measurement of up to 4 adsorption isotherms si- | micropore measurement at up to 4...

Density Measurement & Sample Preparation The gas displacement method is used for the DENSITY MEASUREMENT. An inert gas, such as nitrogen or helium, is used as the displacement medium. The gas is directed to the sealed sample compartment and then expands into an empty compartment with a defined volume. The pressure difference allows to determine the exact sample volume. | quick & reliable true density measurements via gas displacement | flow / heat degassing pretreatment device for specific | highly precise measurement of the sample thanks to variable cell volumes surface area & pore...
