The Physics Behind Laser Diffraction
Laser diffraction is one of the most popular particle sizing techniques for a variety of industries. Though the generation of data seems easy enough, how does laser diffraction actually work? The physics behind laser diffraction centers around light’s
Why Instrument Variety Matters in Laser Diffraction Testing
Laser diffraction is a technique that determines a volume-weighted particle size distribution based on the angles at which a dispersion of particles scatter laser light. This technique is commonly used as a quality control test and benefits many
Laser Diffraction: The Importance of Optical Properties
Laser Diffraction is a popular and cost-effective particle sizing technique capable of determining the particle size of a properly dispersed material from approximately 0.2 µm to 3500 µm depending on the instrument. This technique calculates particle size distribution
Welcome to the Laser Diffraction Department at Particle Technology Labs!
Let’s take a look around the lab space and get to know the equipment we use to produce comprehensive and reliable particle size distribution data for you. PTL receives samples from around the world, and across multiple industries,
Considerations for Stable, Consistent Results Using Laser Diffraction
Reliable and stable results with laser diffraction are achieved by understanding trends through repeat testing. At PTL, several measurements are typically done in each liquid dispersion analysis with a delay between each measurement to observe if any trending
Laser Diffraction: Liquid vs. Dry Applications for Dry Materials
Laser diffraction is an excellent technique for determining particle size as it allows the user to measure particle size on both a liquid and dry basis. When working with dry materials choosing the most appropriate way to disperse
Testing Particle Size by Laser Diffraction
Laser diffraction is a frequently requested technique in the particle characterization industry, but how do you know if it’s right for your material and process? The experts at Particle Technology Labs have years of experience evaluating powders, semi-solid
