Applying Image Analysis to Support the Development of Particle Sizing Methods
19 Oct 2014This application note discusses how the Mastersizer’s Hydro Sight accessory, can aid method development by visualizing the sample dispersion. This allows you to see whether agglomerates are present in your sample and how stirring and ultrasound can disperse these into primary particles.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters. Find the best particle characterization instruments in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.
