Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can you measure the particle size distribution using the SpectroCuvette™ S?

The SpectroCuvette™ S and SpectroWorks™ can determine different particle sizes and their relative concentrations.

If you would like to obtain a particle size distribution, it is possible using the SpectroCuvette™ S in conjunction with SpectroWorks™ to distinguish between several different particle sizes and give their relative concentrations, but our technology is not yet able to measure the variance of these sizes. You can expect results like the example graph below, measured on TiO₂ particles using SpectroCuvette™ S.   particle size dist
