Realizing precision particle size distribution measurement for undiluted to dilute samples
The key features of centrifugation is that the particle size is measured following classifying by size. As a result, a wide range of high-precision results can be obtained in a single analysis. Partica CENTRIFUGE enables you to measure by two measurement techniques: The “Line-start mode” and the “Homogeneous mode”.

Small amounts of foreign particle or agglomeration can be captured
With its high resolution, Partica CENTRIFUGE can capture a small amount of foreign particles. This instrument enables you to obtain reliable measurement results throughout the range of the particle size distribution, including small populations, as well as to the low area of the distribution.

Features stable measurement even for the long time measurements
The cooling function of the sample chamber and the rotor prevents temperature increases of sample fraction during rotation. This improves the reliability of the measurement results by keeping the viscosity constant. Partica CENTRIFUGE is designed for quieter, easier, safer operation.

Robust and easy to use

•Easy and safe operation by simply setting a cell filled with sample on a rotor.

•The cuvette-type cell is easy to clean and replace, reducing the risk of contamination.

•Complies with international safety standards (IEC6101-1/2-020)


Measurement Examples

High resolution particle size distribution measurement

As a result of measuring a mixed sample containing four types in equal concentrations of, standard silica particles, four types of distributions were obtained with almost the same area. Using the line-start mode measurement, an accurate particle size distribution is obtained because the particles are classified by the centrifugal force.

Sample:  Standard particles (One drop each of particles with sizes of 0.48 μm,
　　　　 0.73 μm, 0.99 μm, and 1.57 μm are mixed)
Amount of sample:  10 μL
Solvent:  Aqueous sucrose solution
Measurement condition:  Line-start mode


Measurement of the particle size distribution of a small quantity, high concentration sample

Example of black pigment used for inkjet printers starting with an undiluted solution. As a result, the particle size distribution of a high concentration sample, which is difficult to measure is shown, with high precision from a small 2 μL sample

Sample:  Black pigment for inkjet printers (undiluted solution)
Amount of sample:  2 μL
Solvent:  Aqueous sucrose solution
Measurement condition:  Line-start mode

Evaluation of Diameter (Thickness) and Aggregation/Dissociation State of Carbon Nanotube Dispersions
Evaluation of Diameter (Thickness) and Aggregation/Dissociation State of Carbon Nanotube Dispersions
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are thin, light, and flexible string-like materials that are composed entirely of carbon atoms. CNTs easily aggregate, so it is essential to understand and control the state of aggregation in order to achieve the expected performance. For this purpose, an analytical method that can quickly evaluate wide particle size distributions (PSD) from isolated dispersion to aggregation, with high resolution, is necessary.

Analysis to Separate Mixed Samples of the Same Size but Different Materials
Analysis to Separate Mixed Samples of the Same Size but Different Materials
In general particle size analyzers, particles of the same size are measured as the same size regardless of material, making it difficult to separate particles of different materials when they are mixed together. The centrifugal sedimentation particle size analyzer measures the sedimentation speed and converts it into a particle size value using the density information of the particles. Therefore, particles of the same size but different densities will have different settling speed and can be measured separately.

Particle Size Analysis of Fumed Silica
Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) technology is used as an indispensable fundamental technology in the manufacturing process of ultra-large-scale semiconductor integrated circuits (ULSI). CMP is a technique in which the surface of a substrate is softened, removed or flattened by chemical etching and frictional abrasion with a chemical slurry that contains abrasive particles. Fumed silica abrasive particles are synthesized in a gas phase reaction in flame and are dispersed as secondary particles that are aggregates of primary particles. They are known to have thiogenic properties. Although the rate of polishing is high for fumed silica, its polishing precision is inferior to that of colloidal silica.

Nanocellulose is a fibrous substance derived from wood and is attracting attention as a cutting-edge material. Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) manufactured by TEMPO oxidation are cellulose fibers that have added carboxy groups at high density. This type of CNF is made with high efficiency and is characterized by a very thin and uniform fiber width of about 3 nm. To utilize nanocellulose, it is important to understand the fiber diameter and dispersion state. To do so, it is necessary to have an analytical method that can quickly evaluate a wide ranges of particle size distribution, from well-dispersed particles to agglomerates at high resolution.
