Lightmas plus Particle Size Analyzers

Lightspectrum  produces world-leading instrumentation for all types of particle size analysis and characterization from sub-nanometer to millimeters in particle size.

We offer a variety of particle size analyzers to meet your application requirements covering particle size measurement for both wet and dry samples. These systems are used worldwide in all industries for both product development, production and quality control, as well as in R&D.

Our range of particle size analyzers use different measuring principles and cover a size range from 0.3 nm to 3.6 mm. 

Particle size and size distribution have a direct influence on material properties, which impacts a wide range of industries and products.

For solids, the surface area of the particle is critical in determining the rate of a chemical reaction. Chemical reactions are far more likely to occur in fine particles.

By creating finer particles - and therefore increasing surface area - the physical barriers to dissolution are reduced, making the process occur much more quickly. Finer particles are more likely to dissolve faster.

 The efficiency with which particles pack together is crucial to many industries. As a rule, large particles are going to pack more poorly than small particles. By decreasing the particle size, packing density is improved and void-age (unoccupied volume) is reduced.

The principle that particles scatter light in different ways depending on their size is exploited in the manufacture of paints, inks, toners and other surface coatings.

The size of particles has a direct correlation with a customer’s perception of a product .This is particularly true in the case of food products in which particle size can impact the enjoyment of the product.
