All CILAS particle size analyzers offer our unique
integrated wet and dry dispersion mode design. This
allows the operator to switch between wet and dry modes
through our software.
High-resolution detectors are used for the sampling
of the diffraction pattern and provide you exact and
reproducible results through Fraunhofer and Mie algorithms.
This guaranties you full compliance with the ISO 13320
standard. |

| Principle of Measurement |
With an extremely compact cast iron optical bench,
the CILAS EcoSizer is able to run powder or emulsion size
analysis. from 0.5 up to 400 µm, within a few seconds.
The 830 nm laser diode, with a very long lifetime, lights
the sample. A photodiode matrix detector acquires the
diffraction pattern. |
