Description
High-Resolution Particle Size Analysis
The Brookhaven BI-DCP Disc Centrifuge Photosedimentometer (DCP) is a digitally controlled, high-resolution, particle size distribution analyzer. It yields high-resolution results in the size range from 0.01 to 30 microns with typical analysis times ranging from 5 to 30 minutes. The BI-DCP software provides easy instrument control, data analysis, and database management. The software is menu-driven and permits a variety of report formats.
Brookhaven Instruments is renowned for light scattering instruments dedicated to sub-micron particle sizing and polymer characterization. Having identified the need to produce high resolution in the 1-micron size range, Brookhaven has produced an instrument with a resolution unmatched by any other technique in this range. Sedimentation is intrinsically a fractionation technique and the BI-DCP Particle Size Analyzer provides a means to separate the components of mixtures and also characterize a wide variety of distributions.
