The New Alternative in Particle Size Analysis

In addition to its unique performances – widest true measurements range, excellent data for fine particles, highest accuracy and precision, powerful sampling systems – the laser diffraction analyser LA-950 from Horiba
Scientific now features a new powerful tool, “Method Expert”, for automatic set–up of optimum analytical conditions. “Method Expert” is an innovative software tool developed by Horiba to simplify analysis method
development in laser diffraction.

Many parameters should be studied to optimise a distribution size analysis. This tool has been created to enable one to build methods with a more scientific approach and optimise the best analytical conditions. Each
measurement features a specific parameter and provides an explanation of the test purpose and procedure as well as Expert Advice for interpreting the results.

Parameters tested include: refractive index selection, ultrasonic dispersion, concentration and circulation speed. From these parameters, software will automatically perform several successive measurements to make this study. For each parameter type selected, a graph with their trends can be displayed and this allows a very quick selection of the best parameters to be used.

With Expert Advice, users will select the best conditions for their material which in turn automatically generates a sequence file providing one-button. This new revolutionary tool will simplify everyday work for laser diffraction users and will contribute to more consistent analysis results, thanks to a very scientific approach for method development.
