Anton Paar opens up new horizons in particle analysis

WITH the latest acquisition of Quantachrome Instruments, Anton Paar is now the provider of the broadest portfolio for particle characterisation instrumentation worldwide: 29 instruments are available to measure more than 20 parameters. Researchers and quality controllers can holistically determine the behaviour and properties of all kinds of particles.

Knowing the behaviour and characteristics of particles is a decisive advantage in the development of materials and final products, the determination of their quality, as well as when researching new materials. Thanks to technological developments and thoughtful investments, Anton Paar now offers the largest portfolio for particle characterisation from one single provider worldwide, supporting researchers at universities and in industry alike.

29 instruments are available to determine parameters such as:

• Particle size and shape

• Pore size

• Surface area

• Density of solids

• Reactive area

• Vapor uptake

• Open-cell porosity

• Zeta potential

• Powder flow

• Gas storage capacity

Some of the instruments in the extensive portfolio have even been the first of their kind. For example, the PSA - this particle size analyser was invented as the first laser diffraction device back in 1967. The Quantachrome instruments, especially the gas sorption analysers, are also based on decades of experience and developments, as well as extensive application knowledge. The powder rheometer from Anton Paar is the only available system that provides absolute instead of relative values, leading to an unrivalled reliability of results.

In just a few steps, it can be turned into a multifunctional rheometer with an extensive accessory range.

But there is so much more: At www.anton-paar.com/pc, Anton Paar offers an interactive portfolio overview, a comprehensive knowledge database and webinars (live and recorded), showing the endless possibilities of particle characterisation by Anton Paar.
