HELOS is a particle size analyzer based on the laserdiffraction method, designed to measure the particle size distributions of powders, suspensions, and emulsions quickly and reliably. The device is suitable for both research and industrial QC applications where accurate and reliable size distribution data is required.
HELOS is a particle size analyser based on Sympatec’s laser diffraction technology, which is widely used for the analysis of powders, suspensions and emulsions. The system offers a fast and repeatable method for determining particle size distribution in research and quality control applications. HELOS is intended for laboratory use, whilst MYTOS is an alternative equipped with the same technology for process applications.
The system is always designed to meet specific requirements and is customised using a variety of dispersion units.
Dry applications
RODOSVIBRIGRADISASPIROS
RODOS is a dry dispersion unit that uses compressed air and achieves particle velocities of up to 100 m/s, offering unique dispersion performance for powders, fibers, and granules ranging in size from less than 0.1 µm to 4,000 µm.

VIBRI is a vibration-based dosing unit designed specifically for small and delicate sample quantities.
It is typically suitable for:
samples in the milligram to gram range
situations where sample material is limited
poorly flowing or light powders
VIBRI feeds the sample evenly into the RODOS dispersion unit, enabling controlled and repeatable measurement without requiring a large sample volume.
SUCELL is a fully automated wet dispersion unit. It utilizes ultrasound for efficient dispersion and is particularly suitable for measuring suspensions and stable emulsions across a wide size range.
Key features:
Measurement range approx. 0.1 µm – 2,000 µm
Integrated ultrasound for breaking up agglomerates
Closed circulation system (approx. 500 ml volume)
Smooth and repeatable sample circulation during measurement
QUIXEL is a compact wet dispersion unit designed specifically for small sample volumes and fast measurements.
Key features:
Measurement range approx. 0.1 µm – 3,500 µm
Integrated ultrasonic generator for efficient dispersion
Temperature control available for demanding applications
Innovative tubeless design → faster measurements and better chemical resistance
Flexible analysis volume approx. 250 ml – 1,000 ml
QUIXEL enables extremely fast measurement cycles and easy cleaning, making it an excellent choice for both research and routine analysis when efficient and flexible wet dispersion is required.
CUVETTE is a wet dispersion unit designed for analyzing the particle size distribution of very small sample volumes. It is suitable for suspensions and emulsions across a wide size range of 0.1 µm to 3,500 µm.
Key features:
Very small sample volumes:
approx. 6 mL (with manual mixing)
approx. 50 mL (with magnetic stirrer and ultrasound)
Solid sintered glass cuvette → excellent chemical resistance
Suitable for demanding and solvent-sensitive samples
Accurate and reproducible wet dispersion on a small scale
MULTISAMPLER is a fully automated dosing system designed for high-throughput dry and wet dispersion measurements.
Key features:
Fully automated sample handling
Up to 70 sample vials per run
Sample tube volume approx. 39 ml
Batch-type measurement process (serial measurements)
Suitable for both dry and wet dispersions
The MULTISAMPLER is particularly useful in laboratories and production environments where large sample volumes are handled and measurement efficiency and repeatability need to be maximized.
SPRAYER is a dispensing unit designed to characterize the droplet size distribution of sprays and aerosols.
The unit enables the generation of a controlled and repeatable spray for measurement, allowing the droplet size distribution to be accurately analyzed within the spray cone.
SMACTOR is an automated dosing unit for analyzing aerosol sprays. It is designed for standardized DPI, MDI, nebulizer, and spray testing that requires high repeatability and an automated measurement process.
Key features:
Automatic aerosol dosing and triggering
Suitable for DPI, MDI, nebulizer, and pump sprays
Also supports propellant-based aerosols
Why SMACTOR?
Reduces operator dependency and improves repeatability
Enables batch measurements and automation
Particularly suitable for quality control and standardized test protocols
