Particle sizing at Pittcon

Materials characterisation company Malvern Instruments focuses on ‘smarter particle sizing’ as the Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction particle size analyser makes its Pittcon debut in 2012 (Booth #3641 Pittcon 2012, 11-15 Mar 2012, Orlando, FL). This small footprint instrument delivers precise high-resolution wet and dry sample measurement from 10 nm to 3.5 mm, with rapid operatorindependent measurement enabling increased lab productivity. A range of sample dispersion accessories provides a solution for every application, including dry dispersion of fragile particles such as pharmaceutical actives. Most importantly the Mastersizer 3000’s simple intuitive software is designed to lighten the analyst’s workload, driving user-defined measurements and delivering Malvern’s applications expertise to the user in a simple and straightforward way.
