Description

General description

Designed to analyze the particle size distribution (PSD) profile of a particle system.
The particle size of 10 μm is standardized using Coulter multisizer III.

Application

Used to develop, calibrate, qualify and monitor particle size equipment and particle counters.
Also used:

• as a calibration standard to show that microfluidic device can detect particles and cells of different sizes
• to prepare microparticle-based adjuvants for application in fish vaccines
• in coagulation studies to prove the pro-coagulant activity of synthetic microparticles

Features and Benefits

• suitable for routine instrument calibration checking, testing and corrections
• particle size traceable to Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) standards
• available in 5 mL pack size as a neat sample
