Inline Particle Measurement a Valuable Insight into Your Process
2 Feb 2015Just under three quarters of all materials processed in the chemical industry, the pharmaceutical industry or the food industries are present as powders, in granular form or as solids respectively. In many processing steps, the particle size distribution is thus the most important characteristic of these materials. In this application note, discover how, in-line particle measurement provides information about the manufacturing process.

Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.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.
