The High-End Dispersion Analyser LUMiSizer®, a microprocessor controlled analytical photocentrifuge, is your complete dispersion lab, all in one instrument. The quick characterization of any demixing phenomena, like sedimentation, flotation or consolidation and the calculation of the velocity distribution in the centrifugal field as well as of the particle size distribution makes the LUMiSizer® the instrument of choice for research, development and QA/QC.
LUMiSizer All-in-One Dispersion Analyser
Because of an enhanced optical system, the LUMiSizer lets you analyse particle and droplet velocity distributions for creaming and sedimentation phenomena without the need of any material data and performs particle sizing (ISO 133182) Run 12 samples at a time under a wide range of viscosities, temperatures, and real-world concentrations, The lUMiSizeris the only instrument in the world that allows you to obtain particle velocity distributions without having to know any material constants.
Features:
• Universal high-end analyser for science, R & D and QA/QC
• Direct, fast and objective characterization of any demixing phenomena
