Laser diffraction with Mie theory[1]
The Malvern Mastersizer 2000 is a laser diffraction particle size analyzer designed to measure the mean particle size and distribution of particles suspended in a dispersant, which may be a powder or liquid.[1]
The Mastersizer 2000 uses two light sources: a red He-Ne laser at 633 nm and a blue solid-state light source at 466 nm. The measurement size range is 0.02 to 2000 micrometers, though this depends on sample properties.[1]
The Mastersizer 2000 is widely used as a workhorse particle sizing system in laboratories for applications involving suspensions and emulsions, meeting stringent measurement and regulatory requirements.[3]
The Mastersizer 2000 can measure particle size from milligram quantities of pharmaceuticals to bulk chemicals and minerals, in both wet and dry dispersions.[3]
The Mastersizer 2000 ceased production in 2015.
