Guidance on Standard Samples, Calibration, and Maintenance Contracts for Effective Equipment Verification of the Mastersizer Series

The Quality Audit Standard (QAS) standard samples for verifying the operation of the dispersion device in particle size analyzers are composed of 10 samples in each box, with a particle size range of 15-150μm. The pass/fail criteria are specified along with the measurement manual.
• Standard sample for small volume dispersion devices • For Mastersizer series Hyrdo 2000S, 2000SM, MV • Composed of 10 units of 0.4g disposable per box • Standard sample for wet and dry dispersion devices • For Mastersizer series wet Hydro2000MU, 2000G, LV, EV, Aero S, Scirocco 2000 • Composed of 10 units of 2.5g disposable per box
The NIST Latex standard sample for particle size verification supplies Latex of the following sizes within the particle size range of 100nm~9μm, allowing verification of the device’s particle size measurement performance. All NIST Latex standard samples comply with ISO 13320.
