2 At Last, Routine Particle Size Distribution Measurement Enters the realm of the Nanometer Horiba has refined its expertise in developing state-of-the-art particle size distribution measuring equipment for more than 20 years. Building on this wealth of experience and technology, we have developed the LB-500 Dynamic Light Scattering Particle Size Distribution Analyzer. Advanced application of dynamic light scattering theory has enabled HORIBA to reach a wide measurement range, spanning from the infinitesimal 3 nm, up to 6 micro meter. The handy cell-type system and user-friendly software combine to bring you remarkable ease of operation. In addition, the unit provides excellent capabilities for monitoring effects due to temperature and concentration of the sample, making the LB-500 ideally suited for both quality control and research applications. Point 1: High accuracy measurement of microscopic particles Point 2: Measurement of a wide range of sample concentrations and at concentrations near or equal to that of the original dispersion Point 3: Outstanding ease of operation Efficient, easy to use cell-type system. Optimal performance in measuring valuable or extremely small samples. Point 4: Feature-Loaded Software Many new features have been included in the software, such as 3D display, learning, on-line help, print layout, and a cell check, among others. Recommended for Customers: Already using dynamic light scattering particle size equipment who need to measure high concentration samples. Already using laser diffraction or dynamic light scattering particle diameter distribution measuring equipment who need to measure smaller size particles than possible on the equipment currently being used. Working in fields for which a micron sized particle is already considered to be a "large" particle. Who want to know the variation in cohesion of distributed particle diameter vis-a-vis concentration strength. Who want to know the change in sample properties vis-a-vis temperature. Applications: Advanced Materials Science, R&D, Quality Control Abrasive slurries such as CMP and diamond Carbon black High resolution ink UV blocking cosmetics (foundation, emulsions, etc.) Inks etc. Paints, dyes and pigments Latexes

Supporting Simplicity, Accuracy,and Unmatched ease of operation The cell-type system is optimal for measuring precious experimental materials or extremely small samples An easy to use celltype system

A 2 cc quantity of sample dispersion is sufficient. What's more, the dispersion can be reclaimed after measurement, preserving valuable samples.

3 Supporting Simplicity, Accuracy,and Unmatched ease of operation The cell-type system is optimal for measuring precious experimental materials or extremely small samples An easy to use celltype system has been adapted for use as the sampleholding vessel (a rectangular glass container). Simply pour the sample solution into the cell and it is ready to be measured with full accuracy. A 2 cc quantity of sample dispersion is sufficient. What's more, the dispersion can be reclaimed after measurement, preserving valuable samples. Optional unit provides greater accuracy through precise temperature control. In order to allow measurement of samples whose size distributions are sensitive to temperature changes, the temperature of a sample can be adjusted via a heater or an electronic cooler (temperature adjustable model). Compared to the temperature bath controlled type, the data sampling function is much smoother. The temperature can be effectively controlled in the o C range. Software Flexibility, Versati Frequently Used Data Lists and Function-Click once and Measure Properties of the dispersion medium required for measurement, such as refractive Index, viscosity calculation formula, etc. are stored in advance in list format. When you are ready to make a measurement, just select the name of the dispersion medium from the menu. Applied Dynamic Light Scattering Theory allows measurement f Applying dynamic light scattering theory, we bring you measurement capability over a wide range, from 3 nm to 6 µm. Moreover, the time required from the start of the measurement to the displaying of the results is a speedy 2 minutes. Able to Handle High-Concentration Measurements, and a Wider Range of Dispersion Concentrations Laser diode Laser collimator lens Lens Pinhole filter Sample particles contained in cell Mirror with hole Lens Mirror surface Light collecting detection lens Scattered laser light collecting lens Detector Signal converter CPU PC LB-500 Optics System Light irradiated from a laser is passed through a lens and focused onto particles contained in the cell. The focal point of the lens is positioned on the inner wall of the cell, concentrating maximum light in order to suppress multiple-dispersions' that occurs when high concentration dispersion are measured. In addition, a pinhole filter removes errant beams, assuring that only light scattered from the focal point will be sent to the detectors. A signal is generated corresponding to the Brownian movement (vibration) of the particles. The frequency of a particle s vibration is dependent on number of factors including the size of the particle. Through analysis of the frequency component, the particle size distribution can be determined.
