Quantitatively evaluates SVP range aggregate concentrations

The Aggregates Sizer is able to measure aggregates of a wide range of particles sizes, from 7 nm to 800 Μm, as part of a particle size distribution (displayed with particle quantities totaling 100 %). Furthermore, aggregate concentrations in the SVP (sub-visible particle) range, from 100 nm to 10 Μm, can be evaluated quantitatively (in terms of Μg/mL).

Measures aggregates with high sensitivity

The Aggregates Sizer is over ten times more sensitive than Shimadzu's previous SALD series (SALD-7100) particle size analyzers. This means that even micro-sample quantities can be measured accurately using disposable cells for 0.4 mL sample quantities.

Quantitatively evaluates aggregation processes at intervals as short as one second

Changes (sizes and quantities) in aggregates can be confirmed quantitatively as a concentration (unit: Μg/mL) at intervals as short as one second. This allows observing the status at various intermediate stages, not just at two stages, before and after such changes, which allows evaluating rates of change. Using a batch cell (5 mL sample capacity), aggregation processes can be observed as samples are mechanically stimulated.

• Aggregation analysis in the SVP range can be completely covered with a single system
• High linearity of concentration
• High repeatability
• High resolution – Detect multiple peaks accurately
