Partica LA-960V2

Laser Particle Size Analyzer

The LA-960V2 continues HORIBA's tradition of exceptional design, leading the industry. Its intuitive software, unique accessories, and superior performance push scientific understanding into uncharted territories, marking a groundbreaking evolution in the LA series instruments.

HORIBA's optical design enhances the static light scattering particle size measurement technology

Advanced detector design

The number, angle range, and layout of the detectors all affect the overall system performance.

Excellent instrument correlation

No matter the length of time the instrument has been manufactured or the proficiency of the operators, the LA-960V2's design and manufacturing ensure a consistent experience. The instruments have a high degree of interrelation.

Automatic laser alignment within seconds

Computer-controlled automatic laser alignment ensures precise measurement at all times. The calibration process using HORIBA's innovative method takes just a few seconds.

Accuracy and precision guaranteed

The LA-960V2 is a high-precision particle size analyzer capable of measuring NIST traceable standard particles with an accuracy of 0.6% and reproducibility of 0.1%, fully compliant with the ISO 13320 recommendations for the measured materials' D10, D50, and D90.

State-of-the-art sampling system

Wet Measurement

Sample analysis completed in 60 seconds

The HORIBA LA-960V2 Wet Loop System is a simple, fast, and powerful dispersion system. The standard wet system includes a dispersion medium injection pump, level sensor, circulation pump, 30 W on-line ultrasonic probe, and drain valve. All these functions can be controlled by software for true one-touch operation. This advanced design ensures the reproducibility of particle size measurement.

Dry Measurement

Automatic and effective dry powder dispersion

The LA-960V2 Dry Powder喷射attachment offers high reproducibility in dry measurement. The automatic measurement function controls vacuum cleaner, air pressure, powder flow rate, start/stop conditions, measurement duration, and data processing. This design is applicable to various fields, including small samples, fragile powders, and highly agglomerated materials, among other types of samples.

• Smart Scanning - Trigger Function

This feature can accurately measure very precious materials. When sample quantity is limited or fluidity is poor, the trigger function can accurately initiate and stop the measurement.

• Automatic powder flow adjustment

The challenge of dry measurement has always been in achieving a stable flow rate of the powder. The LA-960V2 powder jet system employs feedback self-regulation to maintain a constant light transmittance, thus solving this难题. This is the crucial factor ensuring the reliability and reproducibility of the LA-960V2 dry testing.
