Particle size analyser

The Elzone II 5390 Particle Size Analyser is developed by Micromeritics. Widely accepted as a primary particle characterisation technique, the electrozone sensing principle is recognised as an effective method of counting and sizing a wide variety of organic and inorganic materials.

Unlike other measurement techniques, electrozone sensing can be used to analyse samples that have mixed measurement techniques, electrozone sensing can be used to analyse samples that have mixed optical properties, densities, colours and shapes. The unit uses this technique to quickly and accurately determine size, number, concentration and mass of a wide variety of finely divided materials. It can measure particles from 0.2 to 1200 &microm, a typical size range for a number of industrial, biological and sedimentary specimens.

The unit is suitable for industry, quality control and research and development laboratories.

Typical applications include bio-cells, abrasives, emulsions, toner and inks, filtration, pigments and sediments. Applicability specifications cover an analysis time of typically 10 to 100 s, sensing rate from below 1 to over 5000 particles per second. Concentration up to 1000 ppm (0.1%) by volume and electrolyte - aqueous, organic or solvating organic.
