Malvern Mastersizer 2000 with large volume sample dispersion unit - Hydro 200MU
- Particle Size Distribution by laser diffraction
- Operates on the principle that particles passing through a laser beam will scatter light at an angle that can be directly related to their size. This method is effective under the assumption that all particles being analysed are of a spherical morphology
- Limitations of this method include: particle sizes < 1µm; non-spherical particles and materials with a low refractive index with respect to the dispersive medium
- For the measurement of emulsions, suspensions and dry powders
- Solutions usually in the order of 1 %w/v
