New Mastersizer 3000's Intelligent Particle Sizing Supports R&D Productivity

By streamlining method development, automating measurement and continuously verifying data quality, the new Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction particle size analyzer from Malvern Instruments provides R&D scientists with the high degree of flexibility and responsiveness needed to drive efficient, cost-effective product and process development.

Measuring particles from 10 nm to 3500 microns, delivering excellent submicron resolution and with the ability to quickly and easily easy switch between wet and dry analysis, the Mastersizer 3000 is the reliable solution for the widest possible range of applications.

New to the market from the leaders in particle characterization, the Mastersizer 3000 combines the highest optical performance with intelligent software, to bring expert measurement and analysis capabilities to experienced and novice users alike. It takes the guesswork and effort out of particle size measurement, leaving you free to simply use the results.

Fast, flexible and with the smallest of footprints, the system handles powders, emulsions, slurries and suspensions with ease. Switching between the wet and dry measurement is simplicity itself thanks to an auto-locking measurement cell and automatic system initialisation, which ensure, robust measurements after any system change.

The modular disperser in the Mastersizer 3000's Aero dry powder dispersion unit gives the flexibility to efficiently disperse robust or abrasive materials such as cement, or more fragile materials such as pharmaceutical and food ingredients. Its Hydro accessories for wet measurement deliver dispersion efficiency for a range of different sample volumes. They ensure bias-free sampling and their chemical resistance enables the use of an extensive array of different dispersants, extending measurement to the widest range of sample types.

With real-time feedback during method development and embedded expert guidance Mastersizer 3000 accelerates the evolution of a robust method for any new sample type. During subsequent routine measurement continuous data quality assessment verifies that each and every analysis has been properly carried out, maintaining the integrity of the information flow. These, along with a range of other features help all users to benefit from the full potential of Mastersizer 3000, without the need for expert knowledge or extensive training.
