Microtrac S3500 Series Particle Size Analyzer with Tri-laser Technology
Since the early 1970's Microtrac has a tradition of delivering innovative solutions in
Particle Size Analysis through light scattering technology. The S3500 series is a
continuation of that tradition. Utilizing the patented Tri-Laser Technology the S3500
provides accurate, reliable and repeatable particle size information for applications
ranging from research and development to production to process and quality control.
The Tri-Laser System uses precise angular measurement of scattered light through a full
180 degree angular range with three lasers and two detector arrays. Analysis of scattered
light to determine particle size employs a Mie based unified angular scattering theory
from large particle analysis to small particle analysis.
The Microtrac S3500 complies with or exceeds ISO 13320-1 particle size analysis-light
diffraction methods.
Main features of the S3500 Particle Size Analyzer:
- Resolution - The patented Tri–laser, multi detector optical system delivers unsurpassed
resolution over the entire measuring range of the instrument.
- Accuracy - Microtrac S3500 utilizes full Mie scattering analysis for spherical
particles. It also applies proprietary Modified Mie calculations for non-spherical
materials - the majority of real life materials. This feature is unique to Microtrac!
- Stability - Optical bench design incorporating fixed detectors and lasers provides a
rugged platform for consistently repeatable measurements. The enclosed optical path
ensures protection of the optical components leading to little or no operator
intervention.
- Alignment - Laser alignment is fast and automatic. The overall optical bench stability
ensures realignment needs are minimal.
- Range - Measurement capability is from 0.024 to 2800 microns covering most particle
size analytical requirements.
- Detector Activity - Microtrac's proprietary parallel channel integration provides full
signal accumulation maximizing accurate signal acquisition.
- Wet and Dry Measurements - Using a selection of wet and dry sample delivery systems
the S3500 can be converted from wet to dry mode in less than 2 minutes.
- Flexibility - The modular design allows the user selectable configurations based on
application requirements. The S3500 system is easily up-gradable to meet future
requirements.
- Automation - Microtrac FLEX software allows programming, saving and recalling of
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's). This facilitates increased precision in sample
preparation and operation through automated, multi sample accessories.
- Calibration - Internal uniform light source utilized for testing, calibration
verification and recalibrating detector segments.
- Validation - Full IQ/OQ/PQ support documentation available.
- Security - Microtrac FLEX software meets or exceeds FDA 21 CFR Part 11 protocols.
