Laser Diffraction Analyzer

Partica Mini LA-350

The LA-960 combines the most popular modern sizing technique with state of the art refinements to measure wet and dry samples measuring 10 nanometers to 5 millimeters. The central idea in laser diffraction is that a particle will scatter light at an angle determined by that particle’s size. Larger particles will scatter at small angles and smaller particles scatter at wide angles. A collection of particles will produce a pattern of scattered light defined by intensity and angle that can be transformed into a particle size distribution result.

Applications

The LA-960 is being used in dozens of applications for research, quality control, and production. Find your application for this technology in the Applications Center.
