The system should be inclusive of sample handling units for both powder and wet dispersion. NPL is expanding its consultancy service to include the pharmaceutical sector, additive manufacturing and nano-materials based products such as graphene-based and nanoparticle-based. The laser diffraction system will be an important addition to the current particle analysis laboratory and will allow to expand our consultancy to particles in the sub-micrometer, micrometer and nanometer scale. Importantly, the system will introduce a high through put capability for the analysis of dry and wet particle samples, and provide a high degree of sample measurement flexibility which can be flexibly applied to a wide range of industrial products.
