Laser diffraction
In a laser diffraction measurement a at large angles. The angular scattering
laser beam passes through a dispersed intensity data is then analyzed to
particulate sample and the angular calculate the size of the particles that
variation in intensity of the scattered created the scattering pattern using
light is measured. Large particles scatter the Mie theory of light scattering. The
light at small angles relative to the laser particle size is reported as a volume
beam and small particles scatter light equivalent sphere diameter.
• Repeatability on polystyrene latex standards better than 0.5% • Simple, customizable reporting to
present your data the way you want it
• Reproducibility on polydisperse standards better than 1%,
exceeding ISO 13320:2009 and USP <429> recommendations. • Method development and
Reproducibility of 100 production instruments on 60nm latex support tools, including a unique

BUILT-IN EXPERTISE
It is good experimental practice to verify the quality of any
measurements made in order to ensure the robustness of
your results. Recognizing that not everyone can or wants
to be an expert in laser diffraction measurements, we have
incorporated a data quality expert within the software that
will give you an objective assessment of the measurement
quality together with practical advice on how to improve
the measurement process. This includes ISO 13320:2009
and UPS <429> measurement stability criteria as well as
individual measurement criteria as developed by our highly
experienced in-house laser diffraction applications team.
