For materials ranging in size from several millimetres to hundreds of nanometers, laser diffraction is a popular particle sizing technique. Its key drivers of success are: A wide dynamic range is available, spanning the sub micron to millimetre.
size range, Rapid measurements that produce results in under a minute, Large samples of particles are taken for each measurement to ensure repeatability, Quick feedback: keep an eye on and manage the particle dispersion process, High sample throughput: daily measurements in the hundreds, No need for calibration because it is simple to verify using accepted reference materials.
Because it is quicker, easier, and has better resolution than more conventional size techniques like sieve analysis, laser diffraction is quickly becoming the industry standard for particle sizing across several industry sectors.
The particle size distribution in laser diffraction is calculated using the Mie theory of light scattering and a volume equivalent sphere model. The refractive index of the dispersant as well as the optical characteristics of the sample being tested (refractive index and imaginary component) must be understood in order to apply the Mie theory.
Most of the time, it is quite simple to determine the optical characteristics of the dispersant from published data, and many contemporary instruments come with built-in databases that cover popular dispersants. According to the quality of fit between the modelled data and the actual data gathered for the sample, the user can either test the optical properties of unknown samples or estimate them using an iterative technique.
It operates under the premise that the angle of light scattering is inversely proportional to particle size when a beam of light (a laser) is dispersed by a group of particles, i.e., the bigger the angle of light scattering, the smaller the particle size.
The Global Laser Diffraction Particle Analyzer Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
This most recent LA series development enhances scientific understanding for the future through user-friendly software, distinctive accessories, and excellent performance.
The LA-960 carries on HORIBA’s illustrious legacy of dominating its sector with ground-breaking design.Particle sizes between 10 nanometers and 5 millimetres should be measured.
