Identifier
req.q5zatr
Status
received
Estimated cost
31.95 thousands of euros
Functional purpose of the equipment
For a deeper understanding of the processes and transformations that occur during the analysis of particles of powder materials and particles of suspensions
Motivation of the need for equipment
The acquisition of the BeVision M1 automatic image scanning system will complement the existing Mastersizer 3000 particle size analyzer with dry and wet dispersion modules and enable high-resolution analysis of particle morphology.<br /> The system is equipped with a microscope, programmable motorized stage, autofocus function and high resolution CMOS. The device can capture and recognize each individual particle, automatically combining the images into a large overview image.<br /> Features and advantages include a wide range of measurements: 1 - 10,000 μm, compliance with the ISO 9276-6 standard, high reproducibility of measurements, the presence of a stage with high positioning accuracy, the presence of 24 different parameters of particle size and shape.<br /> The BT-910 dry powder dispersion module is used to prepare samples before measurements. The module is designed for rapid dispersion of dry powder samples and subsequent analysis of particle size and shape using BeVision M1. This module can disperse both coarse and brittle materials under controlled conditions without any particle damage, providing an efficient and reproducible method of sample dispersion. It is suitable for various applications. Application occurs without additional reagents, with uniform application of the material on the glass slide.
