Particle Characterization of Granules and Fibres with Dynamic Image Analysis

12 May 2013

For quality control and quality assurance, the exact knowledge of size and shape of the particles in the product to be processed is essential. This application note demonstrates how technology from Retsch can be used to accurately characterize a wide range of particle types such as pharmaceutical granules.

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.
