YOUR ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR SEDIMENT INSIGHT
The DeepSizer 300 is a submersible particle size analyzer for real-time sediment monitoring in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal waters. It measures concentrations from 0.001 to 100 g/L and particle sizes from 0.1 to 2000 μm with high accuracy.
Powered by six core technologies—including two patented innovations, Differential Path and Adaptive Path Technologies—it adapts to diverse conditions and remains reliable even in extreme environments.
DeepSizer 300 overcomes the risks, delays, inaccuracies, and maintenance burdens of traditional sediment analysis. It delivers trusted insights for sediment studies, ecological monitoring, water-quality assessment, and hydraulic engineering— supporting resilient, sustainable water systems.
Challenge: Traditional sampling is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and exposes personnel to potential health and safety risks.
Solution: DeepSizer 300 enables direct in-situ measurement, cutting sampling risks and providing reliable, continuous data for ecosystems, pollutant tracking, and water safety.
Challenge: Conventional methods are too slow to track short-lived spikes in sediment concentration during floods and typhoons.
Solution: DeepSizer 300 provides real-time measurements of concentration and PSD, capturing critical flood events to support early warning and protect communities.
Challenge: Common optical and acoustic methods lose accuracy in highly turbid waters, limiting their reliability for sediment management.
Solution: DeepSizer 300 combines adaptive sediment concentration measurement with advanced multiplescattering correction, ensuring accurate results even under extreme sediment loads.
Challenge: Extended field campaigns often suffer from window fouling, biofilm growth, and sediment deposits, leading to poor data quality and high maintenance costs.
Solution: DeepSizer 300 features automatic window cleaning and intelligent background correction, enabling long-term unattended operation with high-quality data.

I have been using Meritics for a number of years and they always provide outstanding service and support.
They have a rapid response turnarounds and are very knowledgeable of the techniques and products they provide.

We use Meritics for the PM service and installation of all our FlowCams . Megan has been coming to our site for a number of years. She is very efficient in her work, but most of all Megan is very helpful. We have had issues with one of instruments after the install and Megan did her utmost to try and solve it while on site, even though it wasn’t solved Megan has been in contact with the supplier of the instrument to try and solve this problem for us.

Excellent service from an excellent company. Would recommend them to anyone.
BarryH-480

David, our service engineer as usual was good at communicating and setting up the recent service appointment, he arrived on time, did the service promptly and informed me of any problems. Friendly and helpful

I have used this company through the laboratory I work for frequently. We specialise in soil analysis, and Meritics were chosen as they have extensive knowledge of the instruments we use. We have several laser particle diffraction analysers with a service contract, and service is always very prompt and meticulous….

Meritics have covered the annual servicing of our Multisizer 4e instrument since we purchased it from them just over two years ago. The application scientist who performed the servicing was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful, happily answering a barrage of questions about how best to use and maintain the instrument. All my interactions with Meritics staff have been positive. I would happily recommend them.
RajG-62

Service second to none, both units serviced and all questions answers by engineer while on site.

After owning one of our instruments for over 8 Years which was purchased from Meritics, it suffered its first breakdown. Upon contacting Meritics, I was instantly put through to an engineer who was very helpful. Upon inspection of the manual, it was decided that it would be more cost effective to have a Meritics engineer visit. The Meritics staff were very communicative and kept me up to date.

Lovely, friendly and extremely helpful. David and his team are always on call with advise and are very easy to work with and are always happy to help.

Friendly and collaborative staff, provided a very good service.
SamK-403

We had issues with one of the aperture tubes provided by Meritics on a Friday afternoon, while very pressed for a review deadline. Meritics handled our inquiries very fast and professionally and helped us out by shipping us their spare tube to use in the mean time free of charge, while we waited for our new tube to arrive. Communication was very pleasant.
VeerleB

I emailed for some technical help and also to get some spares and both the engineer (David) and purchasing (Sophie) were very prompt to respond and helpful. We do have a service contract but I appreciated being able to email the engineer directly.
AlexH-474

Used Meritics to conduct particle size distribution by laser diffraction. Service as last time, is very quick, well priced and professional.
I would highly recommend
GavinR-101

Always a pleasure to deal with the people at Meritics Ltd. They understand the importance of our work and the fact that our research projects have deadlines that need to be met. Consequently, problems are dealt with very quickly and professionally and they are willing to go that one step further to make sure their supply chain problems don’t become our problems. Thank you to the team for their support. It is greatly appreciated.
