Particle Size and Shape Analyzer

Particle Size and Shape Analyzer

The EyeTech™ combines two Single Particle Sizing methodologies: a Dynamic Laser Technology and a Dynamic Video/Camera technology both on the same sample. Single Particle Sizing ensures high resolution and better results. Measurement of the samples is much closer to the nature of the sample compared with Assembling Technologies like Laser diffraction.

The EyeTech™ brings size, shape and concentration data together to form a comprehensive blue print of your particle system. The remarkable flexibility of the EyeTech™ gives answers to all your particle questions! this all with the friendly, 21 CFR Part 11 compliant software with more than 40 shape-parameters and the data output for size-distributions in the format you wish.

The comprehensive information that is generated by laser and video analysis, is easily accessible by intuitive data reporting software. Results can be displayed in a large variety of tables and graphs that can be customized to show exactly the information that is required. Data comparison is made easy by the data mining feature, which allows overlay graphs and comparison tables to be compiled. With a click of the mouse, a sample report is generated and includes information about sample preparation, size, and shape results, and is completed with images or video of the sample.

The laser channel determines particle size by analyzing the interaction of the laser beam into a narrow spot. This spot is rotated by a wedge prism so that the beam describes a narrow circular motion in the sample zone. When the laser beam interacts with a particle in its path, a photo diode detects the duration of the temporary blockage of the laser beam by the particle. The time of obscuration is directly related to the chord-length of the particle that interacted with the laser beam, where larger particles affect a longer obscuration duration than smaller particles.
