Wet Dispersion for Suspensions or Emulsions

Suspensions and emulsions are analysed with wet dispersing modules. Even if dry powders should be analysed dry using dry dispersers, those powders can be measured in suspension using wet dispersing modules as well. The choice of the suitable wet dispersion module is dependant on the particle size and material density, the chemical properties of the suspension liquid and the grade of desired automation.

For product specific wet dispersion different dispersion modules are available. 

QUIXEL for fully automated analysis of suspensions & emulsions up to 3500 µm

HELOS/BF & QUIXEL

This unit is ideal for fully automated lab operation in combination with laser diffraction. The stainless steel QUIXEL basin is filled with 250ml - 1 litre controlled by level sensors and covered by a glass lid. For product specific dispersion variable ultrasonic power can be applied. The adaptable speed of the centrifugal pump is able to transport even particles up to 3500 µm and of high density. The integrated overflow can be used for foam removal and auto-dilution. Since QUIXEL does not use any tubes but stainless steel pipes, corrosive solvents are applicable in combination with a variety of gasket materials. QUIXEL is emptied in less that 3 seconds by lowering the complete bottom of the sample basin which makes it ideal for laboratories with a high sample throughput. The built in flow cuvette is removed by pushbutton operation and cleanable within seconds if required. For automated operation different add-ons like sample bottle flushing or dispersion agent dosing devices are available. As an option QUIXEL can be heated up to 100°C or cooled from external by an integrated heat exchanger.

SUCELL, SUCELL/M and SUCELL/L for suspensions and emulsions from 0.1 to 875 µm

QICPIC & OASIS/L

SUCELL, SUCELL/M and SUCELL/L are equipped with a 400 ml stainless steel basin with two level sensors and  adjustable ultrasonic dispersion. This dispersion module uses a peristaltic pump to transport suspensions and emulsions through the integrated cuvette. Two additional speed controlled stirrers avoid sedimentation in the basin.

Similar to QUIXEL also SUCELL. SUCELL/M and SUCELL/L can be operated fully automated and controlled by software. Filling-, draining- or flushing-cycles are stored in a product related database. For different liquids, different materials for the tubing are available.

SUCELL/M is designed to be added to the dry dispersing module RODOS/M to operate as the multifunctional dry and wet dispersion module OASIS for all laser diffraction sensors. 

SUCELL/L is designed to be added to the dry dispersing module RODOS/L to operate as the multifunctional dry and wet dispersion module OASIS/L for image analysis and current laser diffraction sensors. 

CUVETTE for small quantities and particles up to 3500 µm

If only small quantities of valuable product are available or if the product should be retrieved after the analysis, CUVETTE is ideal. CUVETTE can also be applied for emulsions that should receive gentle stirring only for dilution. The dispersion cell in CUVETTE is manufactured from sintered optical glass only. Since no glue is included nearly all dispersants can be applied. Two different versions of CUVETTE are available: CUVETTE/US containing 50 ml volume for particles from 0.25 to 3500 µm and CUVETTE/SM with 6 ml volume for particles from 0.1 to 87.5 µm. The 50 ml version is equipped with a software controlled magnetic stirrer and a software controlled ultrasonic probe for dispersion. For the 6 ml model a manual stirrer is included.

LIXELL the most flexible solution for your applications

QICPIC & LIXELL

LIXELL is the ultimate choice for the most flexible wet dispersing system with our image analysis and laser diffraction sensors.

It comprises a flow cell and connections at the front, top or rear to external dosing units, such as a pump, a syringe etc. and a container. The cuvette position is aligned by software for optimum sharpness of the images (auto-focus). Sample volumes down to 20 ml can be measured. Different flow cuvettes with optical path lengths from 0.2 to 2mm are available. They are automatically identified by wireless RFID technology.
