Cormica® are always looking for ways to enhance our services and keep safety at the forefront of everything we do. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a significant upgrade to our particle size distribution (PSD) analysis services: a custom-made containment system for our Mastersizer 3000, designed in collaboration with our friends at Containment Technology Services.
This bespoke containment solution is a game-changer, enabling us to expand our capabilities while maintaining the highest safety standards for our staff.
What Makes This Containment Special?
This state-of-the-art containment system is equipped with:
- Activated carbon filters: These allow us to safely perform wet particle sizing in hazardous solvents, ensuring precision and safety in handling even the most challenging materials.
- HEPA filters and a powerful vacuum system: These features extend our capabilities to potent powdered materials, including those classified as OEB 5 (Occupational Exposure Band 5).
This investment not only enhances our ability to handle hazardous materials but also ensures we maintain the safety of our team while delivering high-quality results for our clients.
Comprehensive Particle Sizing Solutions
The Mastersizer 3000 is already renowned for its versatility, and with a wide range of accessories for both wet and dry dispersions, we’re equipped to tackle virtually any particle sizing challenge. Here’s a quick look at the key accessories we use:
| Wet Dispersion | Dry Dispersion |
|---|---|
| Hydro MV | AeroS |
| Hydro SV | Standard Venturi |
| Hydro EV | High Energy Venturi |
