A particle size analyzer instrument is a vital tool in the characterizing of a variety of product performance factors. Particle size analyzers range from historical sieve to automated light scattering device. Choosing the right particle size analyzer instrument depends on a number of different factors.
Determining the Best Instrument for Your Application
Choosing the best particle size analyzer instrument for your application depends on a wide range of variables. You need to determine which are the most important for your application and choose the model that will perform as required.
Some things that need to be considered when choosing a particle size analyzer instrument include:
• Current equipment – The choice of particle size analyzer instrument may depend on past experience when you need an instrument that will improve desired results or address new needs
• Size range – The particle size analyzer instrument should identify the full range of sizes. A rule of thumb is to choose an instrument so that the particle size of the sample is in the middle range.
• Material – The material that you will be analyzing, such as water soluble, free flowing, dry powder, emulsion, dispersion is an important consideration
• Desired information – Different particle size analyzers present different information about the sample, so make sure you choose on that will provide the information that you require
• Sample amount – Whether you are dealing with tons or milligrams, you will need to make sure that the particle size analyzer instrument works with the measurement you need.
