Particle Sizing for the Determination of Particle Size Distributions

12 May 2013

In addition to discussing why particle size analysis is so important and discussing the techniques that are currently available to measure particle size, this application note from Fritsch highlights the importance of sample dispersion. Methods for both wet dispersion and dry dispersion are presented.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
