Seeing is Believing: Particle Size and Shape Measurement of Powders, Granules, Pellets and Suspensions with Dynamic Image Analysis
1 Nov 2014Higher resolution, lower detection limit, and better reproducibility: that is what Dynamic Image Analysis offers the next generation of size analysis instruments. This white paper outlines how the method works, and shows application examples from typical granulation processes. Pros and cons compared to established methods, like sieving and laser diffraction, are discussed.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.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.
