Malvern Panalytical comes out with the Hydro Insight, a game-changing dynamic imaging accessory for its Mastersizer 3000 particle sizing instrument. The Hydro Insight provides an ‘extra pair of eyes’ for researchers, scientists, and quality control managers. Through real-time particle imaging, this tool helps them to see beyond particle size – powering more in-depth materials research and exciting scientific advances.
Sitting alongside the market-leading Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction system, the Hydro Insight provides live particle images by combining Vision Analytical’s dynamic imaging expertise with Malvern Panalytical’s flow cell technology. Based on these images, it also generates quantitative data on particle shape, alongside particle size data from the Mastersizer 3000. The combination of high-resolution imaging with high-range laser diffraction data provides a more comprehensive overview of materials than laser diffraction alone.
Thanks to these unique features, the Hydro Insight delivers deeper insights into how the combination of particle size and shape affects material behavior. Next to that, the particle images also make it easier to troubleshoot unexpected particle size results. And all these benefits also make it quicker and simpler for scientists to develop new particle sizing methods or switch from sieving to laser diffraction – opening exciting new possibilities for in-depth materials analysis and, subsequently, high-performance products.
