Malvern Panalytical MASTERSIZER 3000

MASTERSIZER 3000 is one of the latest instruments for the determination of sizes and size distributions of particles (protein aggregates, nano- and microplastics...). It is equipped with a Hydro SV unit suitable for the analysis of liquid emulsions and suspensions, specially designed for small sample volumes. The measurements are based on the principles of laser diffraction. By combining an advanced folded optical path with blue and red lasers, it is possible to monitor particle sizes in an extremely wide range from 10 nm to 3.5 mm. In addition, the accuracy and precision of the obtained results are guaranteed.
