Anyone involved in particle characterisation will be interested in a new book recently launched by RSC Publishing: Analytical Ultracentrifugation - Techniques and Methods
The book contains a chapter An Introduction To Differential Sedimentation; this outlines a technique called differential sedimentation, which enables ultra high resolution particle size distribution analysis down to around 3nm (depending on particle density).
Extremely small differences and changes in particle size distributions can be detected and measured using this technique, and multi-modal distributions with peak maximums as close as 2% of each other can be effectively resolved.
The technique of differential sedimentation has been available for a long time.
However, CPS is the only analytical instrumentation manufacturer that has developed the technique in recent years, enabling it to become a routine, easy-to-use, fast measuring, accurate and reliable particle sizing technique, whilst maintaining its unsurpassed resolution capabilities.
The new book is available from Analytik as well as directly from RSC Publishing.
A PDF outlining the RSC book, as well as a brochure on the CPS Disc Centrifuge and many different application details relating to the technique of differential sedimentation, are available from Analytik .
