Useful Analyzer that we believe into each of results!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Civil Engineering, Cement and Silicates

We ordered and used S3500 Basic and Standard Models with SDC (Sample Delivery Control) for our Cement Laboratory in Vietnam, most of our staffs are exciting for using Microtrac S3500 with Flex software for Cement Particle Size Analyzer just by few clicks of operation and even cleaning system!

Very easy to use system that provides consistent results. The S3500 has some good features and the customer service is great.

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Particle size determination of radioactive oxides.

The S3500 we are using is coupled with the Sample Delivery Controller (SDC) since we are analyzing heavier particles than the Ultra Small Volume Recirculator (USVR) can handle. Both our standard reference material QC (SRM 1984) and our oxide product have been successfully analyzed. The system is very easy to use and provides consistent results. As the chemist overseeing this method I particularly like the feature where you can reanalyze old data with new parameters. Exporting data is just as easy to transfer it from the laboratory to the office for further evaluation. The only drawback for us is the waste system for the SDC. The waste line is designed to gravity feed into a sink, which is not possible when dealing with our radioactive oxide product. We had to design a vacuum system to segregate the oxide waste. Customer service after the sale has been great. Microtrac is very responsive and has helped us solve any issues that may have come up. Including providing phone support as we we

Application Area:

Characterizing pigments to improve the quality of dispersion in final products

This Microtrac S3500 particle size analyzer is great!!! This instrument has the capability to test both powder samples and liquid dispersed samples (aqueous and organic solvents). It has awesome image analysis capability. Using this instrument we have obtained high quality results. It is really easy to use, both sample prep and analysis. I would recommend others to buy this product.

The Microtrac S3500 is the first particle size analyzer that uses three precisely placed red laser diodes to accurately characterize particles like never before.

The patented Tri-Laser System provides accurate, reliable and repeatable particle size analysis for a diverse range of applications by utilizing the proven theory of Mie compensation for spherical particles and the proprietary principle of Modified Mie calculations for non-spherical particles. The S3500 measures particle size from 0.02 to 2800 microns.

Features:

  • Tri–laser, red, multi-detector, multi-angle optical system
  • Algorithms that utilize Mie compensation and Modified Mie calculations for non-spherical particles
  • Measurement capability from 0.02 to 2800 microns
  • Wet and dry Measurements
  • Fixed detectors and lasers
  • Enclosed optical path ensures complete protection of the optical components leading to little or no operator intervention
  • Small bench footprint

Benefits:

  • Utilizing three red lasers, increases the range of measurement, giving you the flexibility to conduct analysis on a wide range of samples
  • Proprietary Modified Mie calculations allow users to accurately measure complex particles that other particle analyzer struggle to accurately characterize
  • Seamless transition from wet to dry measurement reduces down time
  • Fixed detectors provide rugged durability and assure proper positioning
  • Small bench footprint reduces demand of valuable laboratory space

Applications:

  • Biotechnology/Pharmaceuticals
  • Metals/Metal Powders
  • Chemicals
  • Pigments
  • Food/Beverages
  • Cement Manufacturing
  • Geological Research
  • Coatings
  • Polymers
  • Academic Research
