Overview
Measure various samples with a range of different dispersion units: Liquid Flow, Liquid Flow Imaging, Small Flow, Small Flow Imaging, Liquid Flow Chemical, Liquid Flow Imaging Chemical, Dry Jet, and Free Fall. Switch between dispersion units with the Quick-Click feature in just one move – no need for any extra cables, tubes, or pipes. Welcome to particle analysis at the touch of a button.
Absolute Operator Safety
- Safety cover prevents toxic or explosive sample spread
- Liquid level recognition before sonication prevents overheating
- All toxic or explosive samples contained
Automated Dispersion Units
- Automated filling, draining, and rinsing of dispersion liquid
- Optimal sample feeding rate set automatically
Wide Range of Powerful Dispersion Units
- Liquid Flow offers sample dispersion in a carrier liquid, while Liquid Flow Chemical adds high chemical resistance for handling aggressive liquids.
- Small Flow is a chemically resistant liquid dispersion unit, that minimizes the required liquid volume and sample amount.
- All liquid dispersion units are available with integrated Imaging unit, which allows combination of laser diffraction with dynamic image analysis.
- Dry Jet dispersion unit uses compressed air to disperse agglomerates of dry samples, while Free Fall (available for Litesizer DIA series) uses gravitational fall to disperse dry free-flowing materials.
