Guidance on Paste Measurement and Trace Measurement with Particle Size Distribution Analyzer

by Ai Kano, Thursday, 9th July 2020

For those measuring with the Mastersizer 3000, we introduce the wet small volume measurement and high concentration paste cell option unit.

What are the Benefits of Trace Measurement and High Concentration Measurement?


1. It is a setup option for small volume wet measurement and high concentration measurement.
2. Small volume wet measurement is possible with a batch cell with an agitator mechanism that requires only 7mL of dispersing medium.
3. A cell kit dedicated to high concentration slurry and paste is included.
4. It is resistant to organic solvents.
5. Easy to clean.

In the wet small volume unit Hydro SV of Mastersizer 3000, the amount of dispersing medium required for measurement is very small, at 7mL. This applies not only during measurement but also during cleaning and solvent replacement, greatly reducing the amount of dispersing medium needed for the entire measurement.
As only a small amount of sample is needed, if you require trace analysis of valuable and expensive samples that cannot be wasted, please consider this.
The paste cell is an optional cell used in combination with the small volume unit Hydro SV. In measurements with the paste cell, the sample is sandwiched between glass and is thinly spread, allowing high concentration measurements with minimized effects of multiple scattering.
We also accept consultations on optimizing measurement conditions for trace measurement and high concentration measurement even after introduction.
