LUM GmbH – LUMiSpoc
The LUMiSpoc
The instrument uses the patented Single Particle Light-Scattering Technology® , a technology which records light that is scattered into into forward and sideward directions by single nano- and micro particles while passing a laser beam of a special beam cross-section.
It enables you to get a deep insight into complex nano- and submicro-particulate systems, which helps you to design tailored particles and dispersions.
Key Features
- Very high resolution of monomodal, multimodal & polydisperse size distributions
- Extremely high classification
- High counting rate (high-frequency digitization, pulse analysis & classification)
- Large dynamic range (particle sizes from 40 nm – 8 µm) without range switching or component changes
- Short measurement time
- Easy operation (measurement, rinsing)
- Small sample volume
- Touch display with embedded PC & server/browser based software
- One-point calibration by reference particles
Available Models
- Particle counting and size determination
