Description

The Malvern Mastersizer 2000 measures particle size distributions using laser diffraction, with a measurement range of 0.02–2,000 µm. Combining red and blue light sources, it analyses particles across a broad size range within a single system. This makes it suitable for laboratories investigating fine particles alongside larger material. Applications include research, product development and quality control, where particle size can influence material performance and processing behaviour. With the appropriate dispersion accessory, the Mastersizer 2000 supports both wet and dry sample analysis.

The Malvern AWM2002 Small Volume Sample Dispersion Unit prepares and circulates liquid-based samples for particle size analysis. Its small volume design suits applications where sample availability is limited or reducing dispersant consumption is important. Stirring and circulation help maintain a consistent suspension as particles pass through the measurement cell. This supports repeatable analysis while reducing solvent use and liquid waste.

Also included is the dispersion unit controller providing a dedicated interface for operating the connected sample dispersion unit. It allows users to manage sample circulation and dispersion during measurement, helping maintain a consistent suspension in the measurement cell. Effective dispersion helps minimise settling and particle agglomeration, supporting repeatable particle size analysis.
