Particle size analysis of supensions and emulsions with the wet disperser LIXELL
mounted in the measuring zone of the laser diffraction sensor HELOS/BR
Technical specifications and dimensions.
LIXELL is a very flexible wet dispersion system which can be easily adapted to nearly all types of applications. Its basic construction comprises a flow cell with inlet and outlet connector. Cuvettes with different optical path lengths of 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm and 4 mm are available (laser diffraction only 2 mm and 4 mm are used). They can be easily exchanged, while the used cuvette type is automatically identified by wireless RFID technology.
The cuvette position is controlled along the optical axis by software at high precision. For image analysis this function is used as auto-focus on the measured particles, i.e. the WINDOX software ensures, that the particles are always imaged at the maximum sharpness. For laser diffraction this function is used to position the cuvette automatically to the optimum working distance, which is depending on the measuring range. The cuvette is designed to operate at up to 3 bar and up to 80°C.
Inlet and outlet hoses (PTFE as standard) can be manually connected to the front, top, or rear. Depending on the application, the user may provide dosing units such as a pump or a manually operated syringe (for sample volumes down to 20 ml), an external basin, a sonication stage, a fill or drain container etc.
A six pin Lemosa plug is provided for the power supply (24V DC @ 4A max.) and the control (RS485) of the external devices.
LIXELL can be used with all members of the QICPIC and HELOS family.
