New Mastersizer 3000 Hydro SV reduces sample volume for particle size analysis to just a few milliliters

New Mastersizer 3000 Hydro SV reduces sample volume for particle size analysis to just a few milliliters.

Efficient sample dispersion ensures that the particle size data measured by a laser diffraction analyzer are both representative and relevant. Launching on the third anniversary of the Mastersizer 3000, the Hydro SV is a simple, easy to use wet dispersion accessory. It extends smarter particle sizing to small volume measurement by making it possible to both develop and apply wet dispersion using just 6 mL of sample. This enables reliable particle size information to be obtained in the earliest stages of product development, when material availability is often extremely limited, delivering the essential data required to understand and control product and process performance.

The Hydro SV has a unique cuvette design that enables representative sample measurement across a wide range of particle sizes. It has been developed with the same intense focus on ease of use that underpins every element of the Mastersizer 3000 and enables all users, even those primarily familiar with dry measurement, to access the benefits that wet dispersion offers. These include the ability to recover the sample following analysis. The results obtained using the Hydro SV are comparable with those obtained using the Mastersizer 3000''s larger-volume Hydro MV and Hydro LV wet dispersion accessories, supporting efficient method and specification transfer through product scale-up.
