Provides Number, Volume, Mass And Surface Area Size Distributions In One Measurement, With An Overall Sizing Range Of 0.4 µm To 1,200µm. Its Response Is Unaffected By Particle Color, Shape, Composition Or Refractive Index. Includes: Hp

The most versatile and accurate particle sizing and counting analyzer available today. Using The Coulter Principle, also known as ESZ (Electrical Sensing Zone Method), the Multisizer 3 COULTER COUNTER provides number, volume, mass and surface area size distributions in one measurement, with an overall sizing range of 0.4 µm to 1,200 µm. Its response is unaffected by particle color, shape, composition or refractive index. The Coulter Principle is the absolute leading technology in high resolution and accuracy and it is further enhanced in the Multisizer 3 by using a Digital Pulse Processor (DPP). You will get the ultra-high resolution, multiple channel analysis and accuracy not provided by any other technology. It all makes the Multisizer 3 indispensable for any industrial or life science research project involving sizing and/or counting. Equally a powerful tool for quality control, it provides the analyst with a system which is easy to use, yet so technologically advanced that it is able to solve most particle sizing problems.

The Z2 COULTER COUNTER is the latest addition to the Z Series COULTER COUNTER. In addition to reporting both count and concentration results, the Z2 adds the ability to provide size distribution of the cell population. The Z2, like the Z1, uses the Coulter Principle (Electrical Sensing Zone Method) of counting and sizing of cells. This technique provides accuracy, speed, versatility and reproducibility. The Z2 displays the entire size distribution graph, or the size statistics and counts between user selectable areas of the graph. In addition, this instrument displays the cumulative count and the cumulative number % above and below a size determined by the cursor positioned on the graph. Additional Benefit, Averaging Data The Z2 has the ability to average counts and channelized data from a series of up to 10 consecutive analyses. The more cells counted and sized the greater the statistical confidence in the result and the smoother the shape of the averaged size distribution.

Features:

This versatile and highly reliable pump offers flow rates up to 10 mL/min and pressures up to 600 bar. It is suited for the use of smaller particle size columns giving higher resolution and faster separations. It maintains virtually pulse-free, well mixed and stable solvent flows. Its dual floating, precise servo-controlled pistons adjust the stroke volume according to your chosen flow rate. Offering access to up to four solvents, the 1260 Infinity II Quaternary Pump provides the greatest flexibility in automated solvent blending. It is recommended for a wide range of research and routine applications (especially in the food, environmental and pharmaceutical sectors) as well as for method development.

Specifications:

• Higher resolution, faster separations - the maximum pressure of 600 bar allows you to use smaller particle size columns, longer columns and/or higher viscous solvents as an alternative to acetonitrile.
• Analytical and semi-preparative purifications - the wide flow range (up to 10 mL/min) perfectly supports standard and semi-preparative applications. The perfect choice for 4.6 and 3.0 mm id columns.
• Quicker experiments - the pump offers convenient access to up to four solvents for isocratic or gradient analysis, which can really speed up method development, preparation of mobile phases and system flushing. 
• Easy, fast and secure transfer of methods - from conventional to sub-2-micron columns.
• Integrated degasser
• Longevity and low operating costs - robust materials (stainless steel, titanium, gold, ruby, sapphire, ceramics, PEEK and PTFE) withstand the most demanding applications and keep your pump functioning for years. Our optional seal wash for high-salt mobile phases keeps maintenance to a minimum and reduces operating costs.

The Agilent Technologies 1200 Series (G1310B) 1260 Infinity Isocratic Pump is a HPLC workhorse for demanding QA/QC and routine applications, designed to provide virtually pulse-free and stable solvent flow. This delivery principle allows variable stroke volume optimized to selected flow rate. The broadened pressure range with maximum pressure of 600 bar allows the use of small particle size columns, longer columns, or alternative solvents of higher viscosity. Additionally, the G1310B is the ideal pump for GPC/SEC applications where run-to-run and day-to-day precision of retention times are important.
