SubscribeCombining Modern Technology with a Proven Method - Unlike other measurement techniques, the electrical sensing zone method is capable of accurately sizing samples of varying optical properties, densities, colors, and shapes.
Micromeritics' new Elzone® II 5390 particle size analyzer utilizes this powerful particle characterization technique to determine quickly and accurately the size, number, concentration, and mass of a wide variety of organic and inorganic materials. Automated features include: start-up, run and shut-down routines; blockage detection and clearing; flushing/rinsing; and calibration. The Elzone determines particle size in a range suitable for a wide variety of industrial, biological, and geological specimens down to 0.4 µm. A high level of accuracy and resolution, speed, ease of use, and its compact size make the Elzone equally suitable for industry, quality control, and research and development laboratories.
Extensive statistical analysis features are included. In addition, optional Confirm™ 21 CFR Part 11 software assists with compliance to FDA regulations. Combined with Micromeritics' IQ and OQ services, the user can be assured that the Elzone system is validated for accuracy, reliability, consistent intended performance, and provides safeguards to protect the integrity of analysis records.
Product Overview
The new Elzone® II 5390 determines particle size by using the highly accurate and reproducible electrical sensing zone method which is widely recognized as a highly effective method of counting and sizing a wide variety of organic and inorganic materials.
