The Bettersizer 2600 Particle Size and shape Analyzer (DIA + LD)

The Bettersizer 2600 utilizes proven Laser Diffraction (LD) Technology to measure particle sizes ranging from 0.02 to 2,600 μm. Its modular design provides versatile functionality, with the dynamic imaging module enabling combined laser diffraction and dynamica imaging analysis (DIA). This extends the measurement range to 3,500 μm while allowing for both particle size and shape analysis. Additionally, the system's flexible dispersion modules support both dry and wet dispersion methods, catering to a wide range of measurement needs.
