Cost-effective laser diffraction

The Analysette 22 Compact from Fritsch, with its excellent price-to-performance ratio, is an ideal basic system for laser diffraction.

The Analysette 22 Compact from Fritsch, with its excellent price-to-performance ratio, is an ideal basic system for laser diffraction.

According to Laser Fritsch, diffraction is currently the most efficient process for the determination of particle size distributions in a wide measurement range (10nm to multiple millimetres).

The solid samples are dispersed either dry into the air stream (powder) or wet in liquid (suspension).

The advantages of this technology are very short measuring times, automated processes (calibration, measurement procedure and cleaning) as well as high precision and reproducibility of the measurement results.

The almost unlimited opportunities for processing results also represent an advance, compared with typical methods of particle size analysis.

The Analysette 22 Compact is suitable for laboratories switching from the typical methods (sieving, sedimentation and image analysis), or for newcomers to particle size analysis.

It shows what can be done in particle measurement technology, even with a modest budget.

Specific features of the system include: a measurement range of 0.3 to 300 m; wet and dry dispersion in a single instrument; one-touch operation (measurement is started by pressing a button); fully automatic measuring process, evaluation and cleaning; it can be used for routine particle size analysis in laboratory or in production; it is compact, portable, bench-top instrument; high reproducibility; auto-alignment of the beam; rapid location of the measuring cell; easy cleaning of the measuring cell; individually programmable for every application; processor-controlled, automatic measurement process; remote-controlled operation via RS232 possible without a computer; up to six measurements can be performed without a computer; highly flexible through individual programming capabilities; and meets the requirements of ISO9001:2000 for test equipment monitoring (calibration according to ISO9001:200 and the ISO13320-1 is achieved).
