Reliable measurement of dry powders requires strict control of dispersion conditions. An automated microscope dry powder dispersion system reduces sample preparation times and significantly improves the reproducibility of measurements.
The sample is dispersed with an instantaneous pulse of compressed air. Precise control of dispersion pressure, injection time and settling time ensures highly reproducible measurements across a broad range of samples.
Measurements are made in an enclosed sample carrier, minimizing environmental exposure and ensuring safe material handling, especially when measuring pharmaceutical actives or toxic materials samples. Multiple aliquots can be prepared in advance, ready to use at the next measurement.
