Description
The Malvern Mastersizer 3000E provides a cost-effective, particle sizing system that uses laser diffraction to measure the particle size distribution for both wet and dry dispersions with minimum effort. It does this by measuring the intensity of light scattered as a laser beam passes through a dispersed particulate sample. This data is then analysed to calculate the size of the particles that created the scattering pattern.
The 3000E is made up of an optical bench, a wet dispersion unit, computer and software for instrument control and data processing. The folded optical design creates a compact system that requires very little bench space while the He-Ne 632.8nm laser enables measurements from 0.1 to 1000 microns. A rapid 10 kHz data acquisition rate and excellent reproducibility allows even highly polydisperse samples to be measured straightaway.
This instrument comes equipped with the Hydro EV cell, which has a unique dip-in centrifugal pump and stirrer design that achieves full and rapid dispersion in standard laboratory beakers. Following measurement, the dispersion head can be raised out of the beaker, enabling quick cleaning and sample recovery.
