Webinar Good Practice for Laser Diffraction Measurements

Laser Diffraction (LD), also known as static light scattering, has become the most widely used particle size analysis method in research and industry, and it has become the de facto standard for incoming and outgoing product quality control. 

Since 1974, Microtrac is the first business to develop, manufacture, and market commercial LD analyzers, has been driving innovation ever since. SYNC, our newest LD particle size analyzer, will not only offer you reliable and reproducible LD results thanks to its proprietary Tri-Laser technology, but it will also allow you to perform both LD and imaging analysis on the same sample, in the same sample cell, at the same time.  

There are several practices and parameters that should be part of the routine to ensure reliable results.  We will explore some good practices in laser diffraction in this webinar.  In addition, we will demonstrate the benefits of adding particle imaging to laser diffraction in both wet & dry analysis. 

The topics covered will concentrate on the practical workflow of preparing and analyzing samples using SYNC, with measurement theories woven in.

Topics
  • Wet & dry analysis
  • Sample preparation
  • SOP parameters and explanations 
  • Laser diffraction and imaging results
