Electrostatic Classifier

Electrostatic classifiers are specialized analyzers used to separate particles based on their electrical charge properties, offering high-resolution sorting for a variety of applications. These instruments typically work by charging particles and then passing them through an electric field, where their trajectories are influenced by their charge-to-mass ratio. This precise control enables researchers to isolate specific particle populations for further analysis. Electrostatic classifiers support workflows in diverse fields, from material science and aerosol research to nanotechnology and biopharmaceuticals, enabling precise control over sample composition and analysis. Their compatibility with other analytical techniques like spectroscopy, microscopy, and chromatography further expands their utility. Common applications include characterizing nanoparticle size distributions, separating different cell types, and purifying proteins. While... + More

Common applications include characterizing nanoparticle size distributions, separating different cell types, and purifying proteins. While specific models can vary significantly depending on the manufacturer and intended use, companies like TSI and Grimm Aerosol Technik offer specialized electrostatic classifiers for aerosol research, while others like Beckman Coulter provide instruments used for cell sorting and analysis. Electrostatic classification offers a powerful approach to sample preparation and characterization, enabling researchers to gain deeper insights into complex mixtures and isolate specific components for detailed study. ALT carries a wide selection of pre-owned, refurbished electrostatic classifiers. Every unit includes a standard 90-day warranty, with the option to upgrade to a three-year warranty, plus ALT's lifetime support for as long as you own the equipment. Refurbished electrostatic classifiers from ALT typically cost 50%-80% less than buying new, making it easier for labs to get the equipment they need without straining their budget. - Less
