Mixing equipment manufacturer Charles Ross & Son Company has confirmed that its customers are using Malvern’s Mastersizer particle size analyser during process simulations.
Malvern’s Mastersizer systems use laser diffraction technology to measure particle size in wet and dry samples. The Mastersizer is applied during the course of process optimisation and verification as an aid to selecting the proper mixing equipment and correct process conditions.
Christine Angos, application engineer at Charles Ross & Son Company, said: “Particle or droplet size measurements of dispersions or emulsions tell us if we are at the desired endpoint, whether we need to process longer or if we should shift to a different type of mixer. Even when other physical properties are critical to the product’s quality, measured particle size often gives us a definite indication of success.”
