Description

General description

Ideal to measure particle size distribution (PSD) of test samples.
The accurate diameter of 100 μm is determined by methods described by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, USA), such as:

• Transmission electron microscopy
• Scanning electron microscopy
• Optical microscopy
• COULTER COUNTER particle size analyzer with HDF system.

The measuring instruments are calibrated using standards obtained from the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR, Belgium: Standards RM 165, 166 or 167) and from the NIST (SRM 1690, 1691 or 1692).

Application

Used to calibrate the equipment particle size.
Also used as a test sample to characterize a lensfree imaging system.

Features and Benefits

• suitable for routine instrument calibration checking, testing and corrections
• available in 5 mL and 10 mL pack sizes as neat samples
