State-of-the-art digitising technique and advanced software allows a range of particle characterisation procedures to be performed more easily and quickly
Joining the Coulter Counter family is the newest member, the Multisizer 3.
The first of its kind to meet and exceed the new ISO standards for particle sizing, providing complete audit trails for each step.
For pharmaceutical applications, the instrument is also CFR Part 11 compliant.
While retaining and enhancing the analogue circuits developed and refined by Coulter over many years, the Multisizer 3 incorporates the latest advances in electronics using state-of-the-art digitising circuits.
High-speed digitalisation of the signal allows the use of pulse area analysis and other techniques for additional particle characterisation.
The resulting measurement data can be analysed and formatted in numerous ways, or stored and re-analysed at a later date.
The measurement data for each particle analysed is stored.
Users of the Multisizer 3 will enjoy the flexibility and all the features offered by the software provided with this instrument.
There is a myriad of information that can be obtained with just a click.
This is a user-friendly instrument, with all the functions controlled from an external PC using Windows-based software.
In addition to the automation of the operations, the 'unblock aperture' function has been incorporated in Multisizer 3, making it easier to use the instrument.
The software controls all valves and sequences to perform analyses and other functions without operator intervention.
It also allows the operator to check the status of the instrument at any moment.
A new and sophisticated Digital Pulse Processing (DPP) give maximum zooming capabilities.
The software also provides real time status of the analysis while it is being performed The new vacuum system in the Multisizer 3 is mercury-free; it uses a wide range metering pump, allowing stable pressure during metering.
Changing the aperture tubes is a quick and clean operation thanks to 'quick connect', the new and convenient grease-free fitting.
The electrolyte and waste containers have sensors to detect when they are empty or full.
An internal container collects the waste, which is purged, to the external container.
This contributes to provide a constant internal pressure in the system.
State-of-the-art electronics, sophisticated Digital Pulse Processing and outstanding software, guarantees the Multisizer 3 a prominent place in particle characterisation as the best Coulter Counter ever manufactured.
