ORANGE COUNTY, CA (October 18, 2024) – A new sample
handling system from Beckman Coulter, Inc. reduces minimum volume
requirements on the Multisizer 4 COULTER COUNTER Particle
Characterization System from 10 mL to 4 mL.
The new adapter, available worldwide and immediately,
accommodates Nalgene* 5 mL polyethylene vials and will address the
volume range important to customers who are sensitive to sample
size and dilution effects. The ability to accept smaller
volumes is critical in applications in which samples are rare,
expensive -- or both.
"Customers using the Multisizer 4 for counting particles in
protein formulations, in applications such as pharmaceutical
development, needed to work with smaller sample volumes," said Elsa
Burgess, director of Worldwide Operations for the Particle
Characterization Business Center. "We’re glad to have
developed this new adapter and excited about the opportunities it
presents to researchers."
"While the protein formulation market motivated us to begin this
project, we quickly realized the new vials could be used by cell
biologists, chemists and geologists -- any customers with precious
samples," said Matthew Rhyner, Ph.D., Beckman Coulter technical
marketing manager.
