How it works Mastersizer 3000+ Pro
The Mastersizer 3000+ Pro uses the technique of laser diffraction to measure the particle size and particle size distribution of materials. It does this by measuring the intensity of light scattered as a laser beam passes through a dispersed particulate sample. This data is then analyzed to calculate the size of the particles that created the scattering pattern. Three main elements enable the system to consistently and reliably deliver the accurate, robust particle sizing data that is central to the effective operation of so many industrial processes.
Optical bench : Mastersizer 3000+ Pro delivers measurements from 0.1 to 1000 µm using a single optical measurement path, making it suitable for an extremely wide range of applications. The dispersed sample passes though the measurement area of the optical bench, where a laser beam illuminates the particles. A series of detectors then accurately measure the intensity of light scattered by the particles within the sample for both red and blue light wavelengths and over a wide range of angles.
Sample dispersion units : Mastersizer 3000+ Pro offers a choice of six wet dispersion accessories to handle an extended range of sample volumes and a wide variety of dispersants. A state-of-the-art dry dispersion system enables rapid and reproducible powder dispersion, even for more fragile materials. Sample dispersion units ensure that particles are delivered to the measurement area of the optical bench at the correct concentration and in a suitable stable state of dispersion to ensure accurate, reproducible measurements.
Mastersizer software : Mastersizer Xplorer software meets the growing demand for easy-to-use instruments that deliver excellent results without constant input from experts. The software controls the system during the measurement process, analyzing scattering data to calculate a particle size distribution. Its intuitive interface guides users through every stage of the process, from selecting a robust method through to routine measurement and result reporting. In-built expert advice on method development, method performance and results quality reduces training requirements and makes particle size analysis simpler and faster.
