Particle vision and measurement instruments are capable of providing high resolution images and can be inserted directly in unmanipulated samples or a process line or reactor
During process development, several steps can be affected by the characteristics of crystals.
Understanding how and when crystals are formed is vital to downstream processing operations such as filtration and drying.
Mettler Toledo's particle vision and measurement (PVM) instruments are capable of providing high resolution images (below three microns) and can be inserted directly in unmanipulated samples or a process line or reactor. The in-process video microscope provides an unsurpassed qualitative understanding of particle change and structure, says the company.
Its range of technologies is available to measure solid-in-liquid, liquid-in-liquid, and solid-in-gas systems, particle sizes from 10um to 1mm (with the ability to track most processes from 0-2mm), hazardous environments and most process temperatures, pressures and chemical compatibilities.
