Introduction to Particle Size Analysis

Although particle size analysis is a critical analytical technique in many industries, few universities teach this topic as a subject. If you are new to particle sizing instrumentation, we suggest attending this webinar to learn the basics about topics including available sizing techniques, data interpretation, and zeta potential/surface charge. Typical particle sizing applications discussed will include powders, suspensions, dispersion stability and tails of distributions.

This webinar will cover a range of topics, including: 

• Why particle size is important
• Basic statistics used in particle sizing
• Choosing the best analytical tool for a given application
• Mean size vs. tails of distributions
• Contamination monitoring
• Dispersion stability

Who Should Attend:

• Chemists using particle size analyzers
• Lab managers reviewing particle size data
• Company validation specialists
• Process engineers relying on particle count data
