Horiba's Fully Featured Particle Size Analyzer
0.02 - 1,000µm

This analyzer is a full-range model, using the same analytical technique as the LA-920. The flexible optical system and sampling options allow the measurement of a wide range of materials from 0.02 to 2,000 microns. The software combines powerful data handling features, automation, and an easy operator interface.

INSTRUMENT FEATURES
The fast and flexible LA-910 gives you results in 20 seconds - all the way from 0.02um to 2,000um - with no optical changes. A powerful computer provides a convenient operator interface for instrument control, color graphics, data management and retrieval. The rugged dispersant-circulation system and the stable optical system deliver what you need on the job in a user-friendly package: performance, flexibility and reliability.

The flexible LA-910 is designed in anticipation of your growing and ever-varying needs in the future of particle size distribution analysis.

The LA-910 uses an optical system especially developed by Horiba. Multiple light sources and a large-diameter lens with low optical aberration plus low wavelength light measure particle size distribution across the entire range of 0.02 to 2,000µm - in 20 seconds with no need to adjust lenses. Even with samples where the distribution range is not known there is no longer any need for range selection.

SOFTWARE
The powerful software package combines a number of useful data handling tools, an easy-to-use operator interface and informative instrument control features.

The Real-Time Display shows the particle size on a second-by-second basis. This allows the user to check for sample dispersion or for the presence of bubbles and other interferences in real time.

Not only does the LA-910 allow you to display particle-size distribution data in a variety of formats; it also gives you the flexibility to manipulate and process the data freely. The LA-910 has the power to meet the most stringent demands for high-level data processing in the laboratory.

Built-in text conversion function allows you to process data to meet the needs of each job. Conversion to standard ASCII file format is done automatically for easy transporting of data, directly or by modem, to a host computer or LIMS.

Flexible graphic function allows a variety of display formats, including overlapping curves and expansion of displayed range

ACCESSORIES
Horiba offers a number of accessories to tailor the instrument to your specific needs.

Automation - several types are available to completely automate the sample measurement sequence. Adding automation accessories provides all the advantages of continuous, non-stop, unattended operation. These include reduced labor costs, elimination of human error, and exceptionally reliable, repeatable measurements.

Dry Powder measurement - the PowderJet Dry Feeder allows the measurement of dry powders, without the need to choose a dispersion fluid. This method is useful for materials where solubility or solvent disposal is an issue.

Fraction cell / Holder
This optional cell allows the measurement of as little as 10 ml of sample dispersion, minimizing the amount of sample required and the solvent disposal.

Paste cell / Holder
This optional cell is designed for the measurement of magnetic particles or other materials that exhibit high cohesion.
