The Elzone® particle analyzer delivers fast, accurate, reproducible data on a broad spectrum of sample types. Based on a widely recognized particle characterization technique, the Elzone electrozone method is ideal for sizing and counting a variety of particulate materials, both organic and inorganic. Elzone Analyzers have the ability to measure low-concentration samples and can produce accurate data where analyzers using other techniques are limited. |
Description
Widely accepted as a primary particle characterization technique, the electrozone sensing principle is recognized as a highly effective method of counting and sizing a wide variety of organic and inorganic materials. Unlike other measurement techniques, electrozone sensing can be utilized to analyze samples that have mixed optical properties, densities, colours and shapes. The Elzone uses this powerful particle characterization technique to quickly and accurately determine size, number, concentration and mass of a wide variety of finely divided materials. It can measure particles from 0.4mm to 1200mm, a typical size range for a great number of industrial, biological and sedimentary specimens. The Elzone’s high level of accuracy and resolution, speed and its ease of use make it equally suitable for industry, quality control and research and development laboratories.
Typical Elzone applications include bio-cells, abrasives, emulsions, toner and inks, filtration, pigments and sediments. Applicability specifications cover an analysis time of typically 10 to 100 seconds, sensing rate from below 1 to over 5000 particles per second. Concentration up to 1000 ppm (0.1%) by volume and electrolyte : aqueous, organic or solvating organic. Electrical 100/120/220/240 VAC 50/60 Hz. Elzone II Advantages also feature the 21 CFR part 11 software option, extensive statistical analysis, counts as well as sizes organic and inorganic materials.
Software
The Elzone 5390 is operated via a separate control module running in a Windowsª environment.
Orifice Tubes
Orifice tubes are available in 22 sizes with orifices ranging from 1900 to 12µm in diameter.
Options
All models are available with a choice of sample dispersing options including propeller and magnetic stirrers, and hydropulsors.
Applications
The electrozone system is currently being used in the following applications:
