Particle Size Analysis

Particle size distribution analysis has become an integral part of both research and process control industries.

Laser Light Scattering Technique utilizes Mie and Fraunhofer Theories to determine particle size distribution from a light scattering pattern. We have both available, using the Saturn Digisizer 5200 for these techniques. The Saturn Digisizer 5205 is the highest resolution instrument available, capable of distinguishing small differences in your sample. The particle size range is 0.07 um to 1000 um.

Light Obscuration Technique uses the obscuration of laser light to determine a particle's size. The POLA 2000™ can size and count particles in liquids from 0.5µm to 350µm.The resolution of the system can be selected by the user and up to 1,000 user selectable size channels can be chosen. It is capable of detecting particle size differences of less than 0.5µm.


Test Sieves The results of the sieve analysis can be combined with data from other sizing techniques to provide a composite report accounting for all of the sample material.
