Everything You Need To Know About Particle Size Analyzers
Analyzing the size of particles is very important for certain industries. It is utilized for research and development and for quality control in industries. Particle size analysis is used to learn more about the size and shape of grains and particles within a particular sample. This analysis is sophisticated and versatile that it is applicable to solid materials and also suspensions, emulsions and aerosols. It is used to learn more about the size and shape and shape of grains and particles within a sample. This procedure is very sophisticated yet versatile that it can be used to solid samples and also other states such as suspensions, emulsions and aerosols. There are different methods to be used for particular materials, so it’s important to use appropriate methods to get consistent results.
There are three types of particle size analyzers –Counters, fractionation methods and macroscopic fitting. All these methods determine the size of the particle on weight basis. Counters are used to measure the number of particles in the sample and it is based on light scattering or direct imaging methods. It can be applied for mediums such as solids, liquids and aerosols. Fractionation method is employed for the analysis of dilute suspensions of macromolecules or particles. In the last method you can actually see the size of particles. You can see that determining the size of particles is very simple now.
Recently a friend of mine had joined as a quality analyst in a pharmaceutical giant and was given the responsibility to procure new instruments for the research lab. Despite being a major in chemistry he was not able to decide on type of analyzer for the R&D team. He searched the internet about various companies offering these instruments. After contacting them he obtained sound information about which analyser to be chosen according to the work done in the lab. He was surprised to know that specialized quality equipments designed specifically for different types of functions are now available.
