Particle size measurement is important in process development for industry and academia for the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and industrial markets.

What can a laser diffraction analyser provide?

The Beckman Coulter LS13320XR is an easy-to-use laser diffraction analyser that provides fast, reliable particle size analysis data for dry, aqueous and non-aqueous samples suitable for any industry.

How wide is the measuring range?

The LS13320XR boasts an incredible range from 10 nm - 3,500 μm with high resolution from its 132 detectors. The LS13320XR offers specific, quantifiable measurements that benefit both the pharmaceutical and industrial markets.

Miniscule changes in your sample material can result in big differences in a finished product. Your customers demand consistency and the LS13320XR can help ensure that expectations are always met.

Building on the Beckman Coulter legacy of providing accurate, reproducible results, the LS13320XR features an expanded dynamic range with real data down to 10 nm and workflow optimised software to better meet the needs of high throughput laboratories. 

The LS13320XR drives laser diffraction particle size analysis to the next level, with its enhanced PIDS technology and extended measurement range providing higher resolution and more accurate, reproducible results. You can measure a wider range of particles and detect smaller differences in samples more quickly and reliably. The intuitive software interface provides the data you need with only a few clicks.

The Meritics team offer a fast, reliable and friendly service with engineers you can trust. Based in the UK, Meritics respond to queries within 24 hours and offer a range of servicing options to keep you up and running constantly.
