Bettersizer 2600 Plus

Bettersizer 2600 Plus combines laser diffraction and dual-camera dynamic imaging on one modular platform, delivering size and shape characterization across 0.02–3500 μm. Laser diffraction provides fast, repeatable particle size distributions using a 92-detector array and Mie/Fraunhofer models. Dynamic imaging captures high-speed particle images to quantify size and shape, with visual evidence for agglomerates, irregular particles, and oversized tails. With a modular design, Bettersizer 2600 Plus supports a broad selection of wet and dry dispersion units. This enables flexible setups for different sample types, volumes, and solvents, so one instrument can meet diverse applications and industries.
