Beckman Coulter LS 13 320 XR Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyser 21 CFR Part 11

The Spectradyne nCS2TM and ARCTM are the only benchtop technology that provides high-resolution size distributions and accurate concentration measurements for particles in the 50 nm — 10 μm diameter size range. These instruments, using only electronic sensing, rapidly count and sizes individual nanoparticles in a sample, achieving few-percent precision in both size and concentration. Spectradyne’s nCS2TM and ARCTM deliver unprecedented capabilities for analysing nanoparticles of any type, yielding more accurate and representative results than any other method. These instruments thus provide an orthogonal technique to optically-based microparticle analysis instruments.

  • Key Features

    • Gives particle size distribution and absolute concentration
    • Particle sizes: 50 nm to 10 micron diameters
    • Concentration range: approx. 104 — 1012 particles/mL
    • Counts & sizes individual particles
    • High resolution size distributions
    • Max particle detection rate: approx. 10,000 particles/s
    • Can measure any material type (transparent & opaque, conducting & insulating)
    • Small bench top footprint
    • Instrument control interface: USB to Windows

  • Technology

    • Microfluidic resistive pulse sensing
    • Disposable microfluidic cartridges with nanoscale features
    • No optical index contrast or other resolution issues

  • Comparison

    The chart below shows a direct comparison of measurement of a polydisperse polystyrene nanoparticle sample containing 52nm, 94nm, 122nm, and 150nm particles on our nCS2TM instrument, Optical tracking, and DLS. As you can see, neither Optical Tracking nor DLS can resolve the mixture. Spectradyne’s technology accurately resolves each distribution and gives quantitative concentrations.

  • Good service, very helpful

    We use Meritics for the PM service and installation of all our FlowCams . Megan has been coming to our site for a number of years. She is very efficient in her work, but most of all Megan is very helpful. We have had issues with one of instruments after the install and Megan did her utmost to try and solve it while on site, even though it wasn’t solved Megan has been in contact with the supplier of the instrument to try and solve this problem for us.

  • Good Service

    David, our service engineer as usual was good at communicating and setting up the recent service appointment, he arrived on time, did the service promptly and informed me of any problems. Friendly and helpful

    TomA-446

  • Superb and prompt service

    I have used this company through the laboratory I work for frequently. We specialise in soil analysis, and Meritics were chosen as they have extensive knowledge of the instruments we use. We have several laser particle diffraction analysers with a service contract, and service is always very prompt and meticulous….

  • Good experience over two years

    Meritics have covered the annual servicing of our Multisizer 4e instrument since we purchased it from them just over two years ago. The application scientist who performed the servicing was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful, happily answering a barrage of questions about how best to use and maintain the instrument. All my interactions with Meritics staff have been positive. I would happily recommend them.

  • Highly recommend Meritics for equipment purchases and aftercare services

    After owning one of our instruments for over 8 Years which was purchased from Meritics, it suffered its first breakdown. Upon contacting Meritics, I was instantly put through to an engineer who was very helpful. Upon inspection of the manual, it was decided that it would be more cost effective to have a Meritics engineer visit. The Meritics staff were very communicative and kept me up to date.

  • Excellent Service

    Lovely, friendly and extremely helpful. David and his team are always on call with advise and are very easy to work with and are always happy to help.

    Friendly and collaborative staff, provided a very good service.

    SamK-403

  • Professional, Customer-oriented, fast service

    We had issues with one of the aperture tubes provided by Meritics on a Friday afternoon, while very pressed for a review deadline. Meritics handled our inquiries very fast and professionally and helped us out by shipping us their spare tube to use in the mean time free of charge, while we waited for our new tube to arrive. Communication was very pleasant.

  • Very helpful and prompt

    I emailed for some technical help and also to get some spares and both the engineer (David) and purchasing (Sophie) were very prompt to respond and helpful. We do have a service contract but I appreciated being able to email the engineer directly.

    AlexH-474

  • Excellent Service

    Used Meritics to conduct particle size distribution by laser diffraction. Service as last time, is very quick, well priced and professional.

    I would highly recommend

    GavinR-101

  • Excellent and Friendly Service

    Always a pleasure to deal with the people at Meritics Ltd. They understand the importance of our work and the fact that our research projects have deadlines that need to be met. Consequently, problems are dealt with very quickly and professionally and they are willing to go that one step further to make sure their supply chain problems don’t become our problems. Thank you to the team for their support. It is greatly appreciated.
