TURBOTRAC from Microtrac is a dry powder dispersion system for use with Microtrac Bluewave or Series 3500 Particle Size Analyzers. Turbotrac's primary function is to deliver a properly dispersed sample to the measuring cell in the Microtrac optical bench allowing for consistent and repeatable particle size analysis of dry powders.
Main features of the Turbotrac System:
- Flexibility of compressed air and flow conditions settings allow the operator to achieve dispersion usually associated with fluid dispersal systems for highly agglomerated materials such as alumina. Dispersion conditions can be altered for the measurement of the most fragile crystals.
- Small Sample Volumes. Sample volumes can be as small as 0.1 cc. Ideal for applications where sample is expensive to produce or produced in small volumes.
- Rapid Measurements. Measurement time is typically 10 seconds with the Turbotrac Autoscan or even shorter using the Microtrac One-Shot accessory for very small sample volumes.
- Automatic Sampling. Microtrac FLEX software facilitates easy programming of measurement cycles. Simply place the sample in the sample tray, enter identifiers and press RUN. Data is saved on the system PC or can be exported to user networks or LIMS systems.
- Data Consistency. Data is comparable to fluid dispersions in most cases.
- Repeatability. Consistent control of aspiration settings deliver excellent sample to sample and bench to bench repeatability.
