Laser Diffraction Analysis | Malvern Panalytical, Mastersizer 3000+ Ultra

Location: LFG, Cauerstraße 4, 91058 Erlangen, Room 01.373

The Mastersizer 3000+ is your reliable partner for particle size analysis. It provides consistently robust data plus digital and artificial intelligence-based solutions to support critical decisions in your R&D and production operations. Built on Malvern Panalytical’s years of experience, the Mastersizer 3000+ uses laser diffraction to measure the particle size and size distribution of your materials. With its wide size range and world class accuracy, you can be confident in your results. And if you get unexpected results, you have the tools you need to investigate. Combined with the flexibility, ease of use and additional accessories for dynamic imaging, the Mastersizer 3000+ is truly the first choice for particle sizing and beyond. The key applications include: powder flowability, packing density, stability, viscosity and flow, dissolution rates, ease of inhalation reaction rates, optical properties, consumer perception, and curing properties.
