Think Sync: Taking Laser Diffraction to the Next Level

Particle size measurement by laser diffraction (LD) has become the most used technology in research and industry and is the de facto standard for incoming and outgoing product quality control. The SYNC particle analyser by Microtrac MRB provides traditional users of laser diffraction technology with exciting new capabilities to characterise their materials. The proven tri-laser technology provides accurate and repeatable laser diffraction results from light collected over 163 degrees of angular scatter. When combined with state-of-the-art camera technology, enabling simultaneous image capture, the SYNC offers not only size data but significantly more information as described below. With the SYNC, the laser diffraction analysis and image recording take place in the same measuring cell at the same time: one sample, one optical bench, one flow path, one analysis.
