PCL Instrumentation
Micromeritics Helium Autopycnometer 1320
calculates particle densities ranging from 0 to 19.99 g/cc.
Micromeritics Gemini 2370 BET
can perform a multipoint surface area analysis using a flowing-gas technique.
TA Instruments CSL Rheometer
can measure the behavior of materials at very low stresses and at very low shear rates (10-3s-1) to higher shear rates (5 x 103s-1.
Coulter Delsa 400 SX
This instrument determines the electric potential near the interface of particles known as the zeta potential. The basis of measurement for the Coulter Delsa is electrophoretic light scattering.
Micron Powder System Air Jet Sieve
This technique is usually applied only to particles larger than 38 mm.
Microtrac/Ultra Fine Particle Analyzer
With a sample volume of 3-8 ml, a particle size measurement can be made ranging from 0.003 to 6.5 microns.
Horiba Particle Size Distribution Analyzer CAPA-700
With less than 10 mg of sample, one can determine the particle size from 0.01 µm to 300 µm.
Shimadzu SALD 2001 Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyzer
Utilizing a monochromatic light source, the Shimadzu operates at a wavelength of 680 nm. The instrument can provide particle size data ranging from 0.03 µm to 280 µm.
Malvern Mastersizer "S"
This instrument provides the opportunity for wet and dry measurements, while the light source operates at a wavelength of 633 nm. Utilizing the wet technique, the operator can measure particle sizes throughout a dynamic size range of 0.05 µm to 900 µm. The dry technique allows the user to quickly measure dry powders ranging from 0.5 µm to 900 µm.
