Description
The Microtrac S3500 is a industry-preferred Laser Diffraction (LD) analyzer, ideally suited for various particle characterization tasks. It is the first particle size analyzer that uses three precisely placed red laser diodes to accurately characterize particles like never before. The patented Tri-Laser System provides accurate, reliable and repeatable particle size analysis for a diverse range of applications by utilizing the proven theory of Mie compensation for spherical particles and the proprietary principle of Modified Mie calculations for non-spherical particles. The S3500 measures particle size from 0.02 to 2,800 µm.
FEATURES
- Tri–laser, red, multi-detector, multi-angle optical system
- Algorithms that utilize Mie compensation and Modified Mie calculations for non-spherical particles
- Measurement capability from 0.02 to 2,800 µm
- Wet and dry measurements
- Enclosed optical path ensures complete protection of the optical components leading to little or no operator intervention
ADVANTAGES
- Utilizing three red lasers, increases the range of measurement, giving you the flexibility to conduct analysis on a wide range of samples
- Proprietary Modified Mie calculations allow users to accurately measure complex particles that other particle analyzer struggle to accurately characterize
- Seamless transition from wet to dry measurement reduces down time
- Fixed detectors provide rugged durability and assure proper positioning
- Small bench footprint reduces demand on valuable laboratory space
VERSIONS AND ACCESSORIES
CAPABLE OF DELIVERING SUSPENSIONS TO MICROTRAC PARTICLE SIZE ANALYZERS
SAMPLE DELIVERY CONTROLLER (SDC)
The Sample Delivery Controller (SDC) works in conjunction with the Microtrac S3500 and Bluewave laser diffraction systems. The SDC is fully automated and is designed to deliver a well-dispersed sample quickly and accurately.
FEATURES
- Dispersion vessel constructed of surgical-grade stainless steel
- Compatible with organic or inorganic samples
- Integrated ultrasonic probe for sample dispersion
- Vessel features natural turbulence to ensure sample is dispersed at all times
- Self-cleaning mechanism
ADVANTAGES
- Rugged surgical steel construction protects the instrument from corrosion
- High compatibility with samples allows for organizations to have multiple purposes for the instrument
- Ultrasonic power and duration is programmable
DRY POWDER DISPERSION DEVICE COMBINED WITH LASER DIFFRACTION SYSTEMS
TURBOTRAC
TURBOTRAC’s primary function is to deliver a properly dispersed sample to the measuring cell in the Microtrac optical bench allowing for consistent and repeatable particle size analysis of dry powders.
FEATURES
- Flexibility of compressed air and flow conditions settings
- Small sample volumes
- Rapid measurements
- Automatic sampling
- Repeatability
- Data consistency
ADVANTAGES
- Allows the user to achieve dispersion usually associated with fluid dispersal systems for highly agglomerated materials such as alumina. Dispersion conditions can be altered for the measurement of the most fragile crystals
- Sample volumes can be as small as 0.1 ml. Ideal for applications when sample is expensive to produce/ produced in small volumes
- Measurement time is typically 10 seconds with the Turbotrac Autoscan – even shorter using the Microtrac One-Shot accessory for very small sample volumes
- Microtrac FLEX software facilitates easy programming of measurement cycles. Simply place the sample in the sample tray, enter identifiers and press RUN. Data is saved
- Data is comparable to fluid dispersions in most cases
- Consistent control of aspiration settings deliver excellent sample-to-sample and bench-to-bench repeatability
CIRCULATION DEVICE MADE FOR SMALL, HIGH VALUE MATERIALS AND FOR DISPERSING MATERIALS IN EXPENSIVE FLUIDS: USVR
The Microtrac Ultra Small Volume Recirculator (USVR) works in conjunction with the S3500 or Bluewave laser diffraction systems.
FEATURES
- 35 to 50 ml recirculation volume
- Vessel constructed out of surgical-grade stainless steel
- Variable speed centrifugal pump
- Compatible with most organic and inorganic solvents
- Manual fill and drain valve
ADVANTAGES
- Small sample volume allows users to save lab resources by requiring minuscule sample amounts during particle analysis
- Rugged surgical grade stainless steel construction protects the instrument from corrosion when using organic and inorganic solvents
- Engineered for quick and easy operation
- Easily interchangeable with other Microtrac sampling instruments – decreases production / process downtime
