Particle Measurement Workshops in Europe

Sympatec develops, manufactures, sells, services and supports an innovative range of best instruments for particle size and shape analysis in laboratory and process for customers worldwide. With continuous innovations in the technological fields of laser diffraction, dynamic image analysis, ultrasonic extinction and photon cross-correlation spectroscopy (PCCS) Sympatec makes a prominent contribution to the development, production and quality control of most challenging particulate systems. Typical applications cover dry powders and granules, fibres, suspensions, emulsions, gels, sprays and inhalants within a size range from 0.5 nm to 34,000 µm. Modular instruments show great versatility and can be adapted to the specific task within your laboratory. The proven measurement technologies are also available for integration into your process. All instruments reliably deliver most accurate, reproducible and comparable results at shortest measuring times.

Get ready and discover Sympatec’s innovations at POWTECH 2022. We are pleased to introduce to you - NANOPHOX CS, next-generation dynamic light scattering instrument with the novel polarization-separated backscatter PCCS - The advanced CUVETTE with stainless steel cuvette SYSIPHUS - The new generation of SPRAYER with actuator SMACTOR NANOPHOX CS | Polarization-separated backscatter PCCS For many years, NANOPHOX has been providing reliable information on the size distribution and stability of particles in opaque suspensions and emulsions. Now the next, powerful generation is here: the NANOPHOX CS. The patent-pending polarization-separated backscatter PCCS revolutionises Dynamic Light Scattering and takes conventional PCCS to a new level. At up to one hundred times higher sample concentrations and with up to ten times shorter measuring times, measurement results with the highest accuracy and repeatability are realised. Falsification of results due to sample dilution is excluded. CUVETTE & SYSIPHUS | Wet dispersion of small

on-line Image Analysis | Particle size and particle shape from below 1 to 10,000 Microns Process-related particle size and shape characterisation is opened up by integrated image analysis sensors PICTOS, PICTIS & PICCELL covering a size range from 1 µm to 10,000 µm. PICTOS integrates QICPIC dynamic image analysis and RODOS dry dispersion technology in a robust body, which was specifically developed for on-line applications. PICTIS combines image analysis and gentle gravitational disperser GRADIS, allowing at-line or on-line applications in process environments. And Piccell with its flow-through cuvette finally transfers wet dispersion to on-line operations of image analysis. Feeding of PICTOS is realized either with static probes, blending MIXER or by automatic or user-operated manual sample feeding. Together with the dynamic representative sampler TWISTER, PICTOS forms a perfectly coordinated and robust on-line process analysis system. An integration into control systems for processes or for automated laboratories is realised with common communication

Laser Diffraction | Particle Size and Particle Size Distribution from 0.25 to 3,500 Microns MYTOS integrates the established core technologies of HELOS laser diffraction and RODOS dry dispersion in a single robust body: a process-proven laser diffraction sensor for dry powders ranging from 0.25 µm to 3,500 µm. In combination with continuously operating sampling system Twister a complete integration into the processing pipe is realised making it a true in-line solution delivering representative results. Alternatively, MYTOS may be operated on-line either with TWISTER, MIXER, L-probes or existing sampling solutions. Integrated at-line operation in automated lab environments is succeeded with vibratory feeder VIBRI. For instance, typical applications comprise milling operations or spray granulation. The process-specific laser diffraction sensors find a wide range of applications from cement to pharmaceuticals, from roughest industrial conditions to GMP environments. If required, both systems may be configured for ATEX zones. * RODOS at MYTOS | injection

Dynamic Image Analyse | Particle Size and Particle Shape from below 1 to 34,000 Microns The modular image analysis sensor QICPIC combines size and shape analysis of disperse particle systems within a size range of < 1 µm to 34,000 µm. Numerous implementations in pharmaceutical and chemical industry, food and beverage technology or soil science just denote the array of applications in industry and research. Using a pulsed light source with illumination times in the nanosecond range the particles are optically frozen while a high-resolution, high-speed camera captures the razor-sharp particle projections with a frequency of up to 500 frames per second. The extremely short exposure times ensure capturing and clear imaging of even fastest singular particles. With powerful algorithms QICPIC is evaluating millions of particles in shortest time and guarantees outstanding statistically relevant results. The unrivalled, high speed RODOS dispersion empowers image analysis to master fine, dry and even agglomerating powders now as fine as 1.8 µm and above.

Laser Diffraction | Particle Size and Particle Size Distribution from below 0.1 to 8,750 Microns The proven HELOS laser diffraction series – with its classical parallel beam laser diffraction set-up – offers a powerful technology for reliable particle size distribution analysis of powders, granules, suspensions, emulsions, sprays and numerous other particulate systems. A size range from below 0.1 µm to 8,750 µm is mastered. In the early 1980s, Sympatec introduced a breakthrough innovation which was leading laser diffraction to another dimension: dry powder dispersion for even the finest, cohesive powders came true with RODOS. And with the R series of our laser diffraction sensor HELOS new benchmarks for precision and accuracy have been achieved. Latest improvements comprise enhanced application of parameter-free Fraunhofer evaluation down to the submicron regime (below 1 µm), the greatest measuring signal frequency for best resolution with range combination technology and more powerful evaluation modes (Fraunhofer & Mie).
