LS 13 320 XR Particle Size Analyzers

Description

The LS 13 320 XR from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences is a laser diffraction particle size analyzer that extends measurement capabilities down to the nanometer range. It achieves a broad dynamic size range from 10 nanometers to 3,500 micrometers by combining standard laser diffraction with advanced Polarization Intensity Differential Scattering (PIDS) technology. The PIDS module uses three light wavelengths (450 nm, 600 nm, and 900 nm) with vertical and horizontal polarization to irradiate the sample. By analyzing the differential scattering of this polarized light across various angles, the instrument provides high-resolution data, enabling the direct detection and reporting of particle populations as small as 10 nm. Operation is managed through the ADAPT software, which simplifies method creation, offers one-click data overlay with historical results, and includes automatic pass/fail checking for streamlined quality control. The software also supports configurable security settings, including options compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 regulations. The system is designed to deliver accurate, reproducible results for samples containing multiple particle sizes.
