Particle size analysis is crucial across most industries, impacting product performance in pharmaceuticals, food production, paints and pigments as well as many other industries.
One versatile instrument for this purpose is the Beckman Coulter LS13320XR, which utilises laser diffraction for accurate particle size measurement.
This advanced system accommodates both wet and dry analysis, making it ideal for a broad range of applications.
This image gives you an idea of the size of many particles we are familiar with in day to day life.
The LS13320XR has the capability to measure particles from 10 nm – 3,500 µm making it a really versatile instrument for analysing almost any particle.
Dry Analysis with the Tornado Module
For dry powders or granular samples, the Tornado Module provides an efficient, contamination-free solution.
Dry analysis is especially useful for larger particles and materials incompatible with liquid dispersion.
Wet Analysis with the Universal Liquids Module (ULM)
The Universal Liquids Module (ULM) is designed for wet dispersion, ideal for materials dispersed in liquids such as emulsions, suspensions, or fine powders requiring stabilisation.
Wet analysis using the LS13320XR is a simple, easy to use technique and is highly effective for particles down to the nanometer scale, offering detailed insights into fine particle systems.
By offering robust solutions for both wet and dry methods, the Beckman Coulter LS13320XR enables accurate, reproducible particle size measurements tailored to specific sample requirements. Whether optimising formulations or ensuring quality control, this system delivers exceptional flexibility and precision.
