Features

Your One-Stop QC Tool

The Bettersizer ST is an automated laser diffraction particle size analyzer designed for industrial quality control. Its patented DLOS (Dual Lens Optical System) guarantees the instrument to provide consistent and reliable particle size distribution results. The SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and automated analysis procedures are designed to help you save valuable time for quality inspection. 

1. Excellent Accuracy 

♦ Accuracy verification of standards

  • Duke standard samples were measured separately by the Bettersizer ST laser particle sizer, showing the distribution peak in the correct position and narrow distribution with high accuracy.
Bettersizer ST excellent accuracy
  • The red line is the nominal size range of standards ± 1.0%, and the black dots are the measured sizes. As shown in the figure, the measurement accuracy of Bettersizer ST laser particle sizer for standards is within 1%.
