The Microtrac particle sizing analyzers are operated through the versatile Microtrac FLEX software package. The primary functions of making particle size distribution measurements, saving and retrieving particle characterization data are easily achieved through intuitive menu driven software which combines flexibility and ease of use.
The main features of Microtrac FLEX software:
Measurement Criteria. Particle and carrier optical properties such as refractive index and shape are easily programmed for different materials. Other criteria like sample analysis time, sample ID and data presentation options are easily accessed through the SETUP icon.
Automatic Measurements. Automated measurement sequences can be programmed in combination with a selection of sample delivery systems. Levels of automation can be selected by the user.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). FLEX software facilitates the programming, saving and recall of measurement setups in accordance with standard operating procedures.
Database Management. Measurements are saved in Microsoft Access Encrypted Database Format. Analyses are easily recalled through a comprehensive search function for either review or comparison.
Export functions. Data can be automatically or manually exported in either ASCII, excel or HTML formats. The user decides the export destination.
Data Tolerance. Pass/Fail function. The operator can set upper and lower size limitations for material specifications. Useful in quality control applications.
Statistical Analysis Package. Live display of analyses as they are performed providing statistical analysis on an ongoing basis.
Trending. Ability to trend individual size parameters over a specific time period or material type.
Report Generation. Microtrac FLEX software provides the user with the ability to design custom reports.
Security. FLEX software incorporates a comprehensive security administration facility allowing password access and electronic signature allocation.
21 CFR Part 11. FLEX software is fully validatable with audit tracking in compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
