Particle Counters

Particle counters are essential laboratory instruments used to determine the size and quantity of particles suspended in liquids, gases, or air. These sophisticated devices employ various technologies, such as light scattering, light obscuration, and direct imaging, to analyze particle populations. This data is crucial for quality control in manufacturing processes like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors, as well as environmental monitoring and cleanroom validation. Particle counters support workflows that require precise particle analysis, including sample preparation for microscopy, verifying filter efficiency, and monitoring air quality for contamination control. Understanding particle size distribution is vital in applications such as drug delivery research, ensuring the efficacy of filtration systems, and monitoring atmospheric pollution levels.

Understanding particle size distribution is vital in applications such as drug delivery research, ensuring the efficacy of filtration systems, and monitoring atmospheric pollution levels. Leading manufacturers like Beckman Coulter, Particle Measuring Systems (PMS), and Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions offer a wide range of particle counters to meet diverse research and industrial needs. These instruments, such as the Beckman Coulter Multisizer 4e or the PMS Lasair III, provide accurate and reliable particle size data. The resulting information is valuable in scientific techniques such as chromatography, where particle size affects separation efficiency, and spectroscopy, where particulate matter can influence spectral readings. Particle counters are integrated into diverse research environments, from pharmaceutical development labs to atmospheric science facilities, ensuring product quality, compliance with regulations, and the advancement of scientific knowledge. ALT carries a wide selection of pre-owned, refurbished particle counters. 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 particle counters 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
