Particle Sizing
Particle Sizing
Measuring of the average size and the size distribution of particles within a sample. The result is provided as a size distribution. Different instrument can measure different size ranges and handle vastly different sample volumes.

Particle analyser, Anton Paar Lite sizer 500
Description
The Anton Paar Litesizer 500 is a particle analyser designed for characterising nano- and microparticles in dispersions and solutions. It measures particle size, zeta potential, and molecular mass using dynamic light scattering (DLS), electrophoretic light scattering (ELS), and static light scattering (SLS).
