Caracterización de partículas for the laboratory

Particle characterization is a set of techniques used to measure different parameters in individual particles or particle populations. The most common measurement parameters to be determined are particle size and size distribution, particle counting by size, determining the amount of contaminants in a matrix, and determining the solids present in aqueous or oily samples. The most widely used and relevant techniques for characterizing particles are laser diffraction, the Coulter principle, light scattering and light obscuration. These particle characterization techniques are versatile enough to perform measurements on air samples, liquid samples, dry powder samples, suspended powders, viscous liquids and oils.
