The new Mastersizer 3000 Hydro SV small volume liquid dispersion unit delivers reliable particle size measurement using just a few milligrams of sample.
Particle size is a performance-defining parameter for many industrial products. The ability to measure small samples sizes becomes crucial when sample availability prevents the use of larger amounts of material. This is especially true during early stage product development, for example. By minimizing sample and dispersant use the Hydro SV also reduces the development, purchase and disposal costs associated with routine analysis. Efficient sample dispersion...
