BREA, Calif (February 28, 2024) – Beckman Coulter,
Inc., has extended the range of its industry leading LS 13 320
particle size analyzer to allow high-resolution, reproducible
measurement of samples from .017 to 2000 µm. The
enhanced LS 13 320 also adds Rosin-Rammler and Folk & Ward Phi
methods to its full complement of standard analytical
capabilities.
The instrument"s patented Tornado Dry Powder Dispersing System
keeps sample particles intact, allowing true measurement of the
original samples. Reproducibility is typically better than
one percent. These features combine with the extended size
range to provide high-accuracy/high-resolution detection without
the risk of missing either the largest or the smallest particles in
a sample.
The LS 13 320 differs from other laser-based instruments by
virtue of its wide dynamic size range, number of detectors and
sample measurement options. Reverse Fourier optics incorporated in
a patented fiber-optic spatial filter system optimize light
scattering measurement. Polarization Intensity Differential
Scattering (PIDS) technology, a Beckman Coulter exclusive, furthers
detection capabilities in pharmaceutical, plastics, food and
beverage, and a variety of other applications.
"The expanded analytical range of the LS 13 320 will provide our
customers with the ability to more accurately monitor and control
their samples and processes,” said Elsa Burgess, director,
Beckman Coulter Particle Characterization Business Center.
"We are committed to the continuous evolution of these instruments
and to bringing new levels of accuracy and ease-of-use to particle
characterization.”
