Sampling & Dispersion

Nearly all particle samples must be prepared before analysis. Even the simple act of scooping a particle sample out of a bucket should be approached with care in order to ensure good analysis results, regardless of the choice of technique. Furthermore particle dispersion in liquids is important for ensuring that aggregation and association do not distort measurement results. 

Topics to be discussed:

• Best practices for sampling
• How to think about dispersions
• Tips for multiple technologies including: laser diffraction, dynamic light scattering, and dynamic image analysis systems
