Our particle size analyzers ensure swift and precise results, facilitating streamlined workflows to enhance overall efficiency. These instruments employ various techniques, including the Coulter principle, laser diffraction, and polarized intensity differential scattering (PIDS), to furnish the necessary data for your unique applications.

The Multisizer 4e (MS4e) detects particles through the use of electrical zone sensing (ESZ). Measurements are independent of particle's shape or optical properties. This is ideal for the detection, counting, and sizing of diverse samples such as cells, cell aggregates and industrial particles. The Multisizer 4e uses a patented digital pulse processing technology allowing for data storage and re-analysis. This technique delivers unparalleled ultra-high resolution and accuracy.

The MS4e software is a robust platform for managing your instrument and results. Automated routines and user-friendly wizards assist in experiment design. Standard operating procedures ensure reproducibility and ease of data interpretation. The 21 CFR Part 11 supporting software allows for installation on multiple computers for convenient offline processing. Our technology complies with the ISO 13319 and is a proven and reliable solution for precise particle size analysis.

The LS 13320 XR measures particle size distribution through laser diffraction and advanced PIDS technology. Together these techniques provide high resolution results with broad dynamic range. Samples can be dispersed in air in our Dry Powder System (DPS). Samples can also be dispersed in a wide array of diluents in our Universal Liquid Module (ULM), simplifying the analysis of samples with complex chemistries.

The LS 13320 XR ADAPT Software supports 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and simplifies method creation to deliver repeatable measurements. Quality control is made easy with automated pass/fail identification of results. With a range from 10 nm to 3500 um the LS 13320 XR is a flexible, dynamic, easy to use addition to your particle characterization toolbox.

Features

Essential features of our Particle Size Analyzers

Multisizer 4e

• With aperture sizes ranging from 10 µm to 2 mm, the analyzers accommodate a wide spectrum of particle sizes, ranging from 0.2 μm to 1,600 μm. This adaptability allows for precise measurement across various applications.
• Data collected from multiple aperture sizes can be overlaid, allowing for the analysis of complex samples. This provides complete characterization of samples with wide particle size distributions.
• A single sample measurement can provide data on particle number, volume, mass, and surface area size distributions.
• The onboard metering pump dispenses precise sample volumes, allowing for accurate concentration determination.
• Automatic detection of aperture blockages improves sample processing.

LS 13320 XR

• The combination of laser diffraction and PIDS technology provides a dynamic measurement range from 10 nm to 3500 um.
• Plug and play modules allow for analysis of dry powders and liquid suspensions.
• The ADAPT software provides visual indication of pass/fail results, streamlining the quality control process.
• User friendly method creation with the included refractive index library caters to both experienced professionals and those new to particle size analysis.
