Being the laboratory of the manufacture of laser particle size measurement instruments affords the lab direct access to in-depth knowledge on Microtrac instruments. Some of this depth comes from the scientific staff at Microtrac. This is of special importance since Microtrac scientists and engineers can be “called in” to assist with special applications. This relationship extends the abilities of the lab to the physicists, mathematicians, chemists and engineers who know the special, intimate details of the operation and maintenance of Microtrac instruments.

Additionally, sample preparation development, instrument operating advice, SOP development and other advanced needs are addressed by the laboratory staff.

For nearly 30 years Microtrac has offered its laboratory to companies as a contract laser particle size measurement service. Its goal has been to exceed customer expectations of service and technical capability. Laser particle size measurements are available for the material shown in the margin and any material where particle size is needed.

There are several turn-around times available: 2 week, 3-5 business days, 24 hour and same day. The laboratory schedule is dependent upon the needs of the customers and clients who have varying time schedules and timetables. The experience and knowledge of the Particle Laboratory staff allows sample preparation to be determined, data collected and transmitted in time to meet client deadlines. Data are transmitted by email (pdf format or Excel), US Mail and FAX depending upon client’s preference.
