Acoustic Particle size analyzer
Status: Operational
|
Model:Zeta-APS
The patented, unique Zeta-
APS performs simultaneous Particle Size and Zeta Potential measurements on undiluted and/or opaque samples! Better yet, unlike other particle size analyzers, you do not have to know a priori - or guess- the PSD shape of your samples.
 |
- By combining Acoustic-Attenuation Spectroscopy and Electro-acoustic techniques, simultaneous Particle Size Distribution (PSD) measurements are made without the need for sample dilution which can lead to errors, be time consuming, and change the sample's actual PSD.
- Wide particle size range of analysis: 10 nm to over 100 microns.
- Can measure ultrasonic Attenuation of the various liquid samples (Frequency range 1- 100 MHz)
- Measurements can be made on a wide variety samples, including aqueous, as well as, non-aqueous samples such as pigments (organic or inorganic), inks, minerals, emulsions, metal oxides, catalysts, nanoparticles, pharmaceuticals, biodispersions, and many others.
- Minimum volume of sample requirement (for liquid samples): 100 mL
