Centrifugal sedimentation particle size analyzer BI-DCP

for the pharmaceutical industryfor the cosmetics industry

The Brookhaven BI-DCP is a digitally controlled, high resolution, particle size distribution analyzer. It yields high resolution results in the size range from 0.01 to 30 microns with typical analysis times ranging from 5 to 30 minutes. The DCP software provides easy instrument control, data analysis, and database management. The software is menu-driven and permits a variety of report formats. Brookhaven Instruments is renowned for light scattering instruments dedicated to sub-micron particle sizing and polymer characterization. Having identified the need to produce high resolution in the 1 micron size range, Brookhaven has produced an instrument with resolution unmatched by any other technique in this range. Sedimention is intrinsically a fractionation technique and the BI-DCP provides a means to separate the components of mixtures and also characterize a wide variety of distributions. Features at a glance Resolves particle sizes in complex mixtures Simple, rapid operation, stable No calibration necessary, exact derivations Suitable for a wide range of sizes and densities Variety of operating modes External and internal gradient LINE or HOST start methods Successive sample injections allowed Stationary or scanning detector variable rotation speed Quantitative determination of weight distributions Optimize experimental conditions in advance Customizable analysis and reports Continuous monitoring of temperature No other type of instrument can resolve several peaks in the difficult range around 1 micron.
