Analyzer Measures Particle Size and Shape in Toners

With the development of wet chemistry methods for the production of print toners, information about particle shape and size are becoming increasingly important. The Sysmex FPIA-3000 automated particle size and shape analyzer provides data essential for optimizing both production and the products themselves. The analyzer can measure particles in the range 0.8 to 300 microns. Using a CCD camera, it produces images of each particle and provides a scattergram of shape index versus particle size in only 2.5 minutes. Samples pass through a sheath flow cell that transforms the particle suspension into a narrow or flat flow, ensuring the largest area of the particle is oriented toward the camera and that all particles are in focus. The CCD camera captures 60 images every second, and these are analyzed in real time.
