Postnova model 3000 XPT optical particle sizing detector

Online/batch sizing for microparticles

The Postnova PN3000 XPT online particle size detector is a innovative type of detection system, which combines optical particle sizing with advanced CCD detection and fast image analysis. The system enables the online measurement of microparticles in any liquid phase stream coming from a suitable separation system, such as SPLITT or field-flow fractionation (FFF).

The detector is using a special developed inert glass flow cell, intensive LED light source and sensitive CCD devices for the optical identification of any microparticle from approx.1 um up to 300 um. In combination with a SPLITT or FFF separation system, even the most complex particle systems can be separated. The particle size and number, size distribution and shape can be easily obtained for each fraction. This makes the technology ideal for use in pharmaceutical technology, biotechnology, chemical and environmental applications.
