Particule size analysis dispersion system Hydro LV

fluid

The Hydro LV is an automated large volume unit that controls wet dispersion of materials for particle size analysis. It is especially suitable for applications where the sample size is relatively large or the size distribution is very broad. Intended for applications where sample availability is not an issue, The Hydro LV is ideal for measuring larger particles and broad size distributions, which demand larger sample volumes to ensure representative measurement. 600 ml dispersant volume 40 W in-line sonication probe, for rapid agglomerate dispersion Powerful centrifugal pump system ensures bias-free sampling Automated dispersant supply Full software control of all measurement functions, including dispersant supply, sample dispersion and cleaning Chemically compatible with a wide choice of organic and inorganic dispersants Integral sample tank light How it works Dispersing a sample within a liquid involves wetting and separating each individual particle. The aim is to produce a stable, completely dispersed suspension for measurement. In order to promote wetting, it is vital to select an appropriate dispersant. Water is the one most commonly used and, when suitable, offers many benefits in terms of cost of measurement and sample disposal. However, non-aqueous dispersants may need to be used in some applications, such as those involving water soluble particles. The application of sonication promotes the wetting process, by disrupting the structure of any agglomerates. Stabilizers may also be added to the dispersant to prevent re-agglomeration.
