Ominaisuudet

Product description

Impressive performance

A completely new optical core design delivers fast measurement times for high sample throughput. The system has one of the broadest measuring ranges on the market: 10 nm – 3.5 mm! Combined with a range of wet and dry dispersion accessories, this opens up more applications than ever before.

Compact size

The instrument is sized only 69 cm x 30 cm, ensuring efficient use and productivity from your valuable bench space.

Automatic alignment and cell location

Correct optical alignment is critical to getting accurate and repeatable particle size results. The Mastersizer 3000 ensures this by using an auto-alignment procedure before every measurement. Furthermore, the system automatically detects a measuring cell and ensures that the cell is correctly seated.

As such, measurements with e.g. water dispersion and organic solvents can be run without having to call maintenance services to align the system. This helps you save time and money.

Easy access for cleaning

The sample measurement cells feature a quick-release window sealing mechanism allowing quick access to the windows without any special tools. This makes cleaning the sample windows extremely easy, improving productivity and ensuring regular maintenance of the instrument for best performance.

Verifiable accuracy and repeatability

The Mastersizer 3000 is extremely reliable. Naturally, its accuracy and repeatability can be verified through standards. The Mastersizer 3000 delivers verifiable particle sizing performance that you can rely on:

6% accuracy for polystyrene latex standard measurements
repeatability on polystyrene latex standards better than 0.5%
reproducibility on polydisperse standards better than 1%, exceeding ISO 13320:2009 and USP <429> recommendations.

User-friendly software

The updated software is user-friendly and does not require a high level of expertise. The software can be easily customised for the user. Methods can be developed quickly, and at its best, SOP methods can be set with just one click.

The users of previous Mastersizer models can easily move to Mastersizer 3000 since methods and analysis modes can be transferred to the new system and analysed.

Sample dispersion systems

Sample dispersion in Mastersizer 3000 can be controlled by a range of wet and dry dispersion units. These ensure the particles are delivered to the measurement area of the optical bench at the correct concentration and in a suitable, stable state of dispersion to make accurate and reliable particle size measurements.
