Particle Insight Shape Module

$Image of particle insight shape module hooked up to laser diffraction instrument$

The Particle Insight Shape Module (PiSM) adds comprehensive particle shape analysis capability to laser diffraction and other size-only wet suspension technologies. Rather than determining only particle size information, the PiSM will report up to 30 different shape-related measures, including size, as well as images of each sample measured.

The PiSM was developed to be an add-one component to size-only measurement techniques. The PiSM is able to plumb into your existing system enabling the measurement of same aliquot of sample for both systems. Being that most techniques in the market assume that particles are spherical in nature when reporting results, having additional shape information as well as particles images in addition to results from current techniques enables the user to gain a better understanding of the particles and how they would perform in their final use.

Features

Commentary addon to your laser diffraction instrument
The particle insight shape module is designed to hook onto your laser diffraction instrument to provide dynamic image analysis capabilities as a complement
Wide Measurement ranges available
- High magnification version – 0.5 to 90 μm
- Standard magnification version – 1 to 300 μm
- Low Magnification version – 10 to 800 μm
Robust data visualization
The tools and features available include:
- correlation plots to easily identify outlier particles.
- distribution plots of all 32 shape measures in number and volume weighted results.
- classification tools to quantify particle types in your mixed samples. Easily identify bubbles and agglomerates.
- manufacturing pass/fail capability allowing simple quality control operation.
- particle concentration – total count as well as counts per milliliter reported.
Not just pretty pictures
Besides having industry best image quality, the Pi Shape Module has many tools that help any operator to make easy decisions on their process. Thumbnail images offer objective evidence. No experts needed.
