Introducing two new particle-size analyzers
The Analysette 22 NeXT Nano (photo) is a laser-based particle size analyzer that is said to offer the highest accuracy and sensitivity — even with the smallest particles. The system has a wide measuring range of 0.01 to 3,800 μm. The company also offers an economic alternative, the Micro version, which has a smaller measuring range from 0.5 to 1,500 μm. Both systems are designed with just one laser and a number of patented features for maximum durability with minimum maintenance. Another product launch at the show is the Mini Cutting Mill Pulverisette 29, an inexpensive cutting mill for small sample quantities, making it suitable for sample preparation of grains, other seeds or plastics. The unit has a variable rotational speed from 500 to 6,000 rpm, a maximum particle feed size of 13 mm and sieve inserts from 1 to 6 mm. It is easy to clean, and the grinding chamber is made of 316L stainless steel. Hall 4A, Stand 517 — Fritsch GmbH, Idar-Oberstein, Germany
