PRODUCTS // PROPERTIES
The systems we supply are used at all stages in research, development and manufacturing
Our systems enable you to measure, analyse and control a broad range of properties and characteristics across a wide range of sample types.
Powder flow property measurements generally fall into two main categories: dynamic analysis and static analysis. Dynamic instruments measure powder flow properties as the test material is moving or is about to move.
The 3P micro series includes fully automated volumetric sorption analyzers for measuring adsorption and desorption of Nitrogen and other non-corrosive gases on one (3P micro 100), two (3P micro 200) or three (3P micro 300) independent analysis stations.
The FlowCam 8000 series combines the benefits of digital imaging, flow cytometry, and microscopy into a single instrument. Count and analyse tens of thousands of particles per minute and see your subvisible particles with superior image quality.
FlowCam Macro uses patented flow-imaging technology to image, count, and analyse particles from 300µm to 5mm.
FlowCam Nano is the next-generation dynamic image analysis instrument for submicron particle imaging and sizing in real-time. FlowCam Nano extends subvisible particle analysis to detect objects between 300 nanometers and 2 micrometers – the smallest visible with light microscopy.
LS 13 320 XR is an easy-to-use laser diffraction analyser that yields fast, reliable particle size analysis data for dry and aqueous and non-aqueous samples.
The Pi Sentinel PRO Shape Module (Pi SM) adds comprehensive particle shape analysis capability to laser diffraction and other size-only wet suspension technologies. Rather than determining only particle size information, the Pi SM will report up to 30 different shape-related measures, including size, as well as images of each sample measured.
The Pi SM is configured in a way that it inserts easily into the fluidics line of your existing instrumentation. An All-in-One Windows based computer is supplied for dedicated control of the Pi SM, which also provides a real-time display of particle images. Once the analysis is done the user can compare particle size results from their traditional size-only instrument and the shape module.
The Pi SM was developed to be an add-one component to size-only measurement techniques. The Pi SM can plumb into your existing system enabling the measurement of same aliquot of sample for both systems. Being that most techniques in the market assume that particles are spherical in nature when reporting results, having additional shape information as well as particles images in addition to results from current techniques enables the user to gain a better understanding of the particles and how they would perform in their final use.
Not all particles are round. In fact, very few are in real life. Laser diffraction performs an indirect measurements of size. What this means is that what is being measured in laser diffraction is NOT the actual size of the particle but rather the diffracted angular light intensity that is scattered as a function of size. As a result, this method as well as many others used in industry, assume that particles are spherical in nature when reporting size information. The calculations rendered are based on what is known as Equivalent Spherical Diameter. If the particles being measured are, in fact, round in nature, this would be an acc urate way of checking the size, however if they are not round, and most are not, then assuming they are round when looking at statistical results may lead the operator to believe that the particles will perform one way when in fact they will perform differently.
Image Analysis performs a direct measurement of the particle. Unlike Laser Diffraction and other indirect measurement techniques, Image Analysis will take measurements of images of the actual particle. By doing this, calculations can be made to render many different measures about a particle.
In the similar case shown above, the 100 µm diameter particle, assuming it is round in nature, would have up to 30 additional measurements calculated. This gives the user much more confidence to make correct assumptions of how their particles will perform.
As a result of the improvements, the benefits are:
The Pi Sentinel PRO, new generation of the traditional Particle Insight instrument, is a class-leading dynamic image analyser that is ideal for applications where particle shape, not just the particle size, may be critical information for predicting raw material quality and to maintain a high level of process control.
Meritics are the proud distributors of the NEW MagnoMeter XRS.
Designed for the analysis of complex mixtures using a non-invasive technology focused on dispersed particle surface area analysis.
The Evolution Powder Tester is an economical and easy-to-use powder flow tester that measures the unconfined yield strength (a critical flow property) of powders and granular materials.
The Moxi Z mini automated cell counter with new OS 4.4 gives you accurate results you can count on.
High reduction pore size and pore volume determination in the minimum time are provided by the Pascal range. Using a unique proprietary algorithm, pressurisation speed and intrusion rate are optimised. Accurate results are obtained independent of the nature of the scope or experience of the operator making the Pascal ideal for either Quality Control or Research and Development.
