Low-Cost Particle Size Analyzer
The LISST-Portable|XR is the world’s first and only battery powered, portable, low-cost particle size analyzer. It can be used in the field, in the laboratory or on the factory floor.
The LISST-Portable|XR analyzes the sample in a wet state to obtain the particle size distribution and the particle volume concentration. The LISST-Portable|XR uses the same laser light scattering method (laser diffraction) as popular laboratory particle size analyzers.
It has all the features and performance of a laboratory instrument but in a self-contained, portable, low-cost enclosure that allows you to make measurements where it’s needed, when it’s needed.
Typical applications: Oil & gas drilling, sediment studies, hydropower monitoring, various industrial applications.
