Spectrometer uses acoustic and electroacoustic techniques.

Press Release Summary:




DT-1200 Spectrometer's measuring chamber accommodates both acoustic and electroacoustic sensors, making it capable of measuring attenuation spectra as well as colloid vibration current. Instrument allows multiple continuous measurements and sample circulation, while interpretation software calculates particle size distribution and Zeta-potential. Technique is on-line oriented with ability to handle samples as-is without any preparation, such as dilution.

DT-1200 - Acoustic and ElectroAcoustic Spectrometer



Acoustic and electroacoustic techniques can have significant disadvantages when used separately. Fortunately, an optimum ultrasound based technique that combines acoustic and electroacoustic spectroscopy in one instrument is now available.

It is the US patent protected DT-1200 from Dispersion Technology Inc. The DT-1200 Spectrometer's measuring chamber accommodates both acoustic and electroacoustic sensors. It is therefore capable of measuring attenuation spectra as well as Colloid Vibration Current. The DT-1200's interpretation software calculates particle size distribution and Zeta-potential, taking into account the links between acoustics and electroacoustics. This yields much more reliable output data.

This instrument is normally used as a stand-alone instrument in labs, for R&D and quality control. It allows multiple continuous measurements and sample circulation. This allows preliminary testing of this technique for on-line applicability. This technique is particularly on-line oriented because of the ability to handle samples as-is, without any sample preparation, such as dilution.

The DT-1200 software offers several layers of expertise, from "push button" quality control, up to highly sophisticated modes for skilled R&D users and scientists.

By combining particle sizing and Zeta-potential capabilities in one instrument, the user would realize substantial savings of both time and money.
