The Beckman Coulter LS 2 Series is a system of multifunctional particle characterization tools. Its patented state-of-the-art, laser-based technology permits analysis of particles without the risk of missing either the largest or the smallest particles in a sample.
The LS technology is based on theories of light scattering. The LS differs from other laser-based instruments by virtue of its wide dynamic size range, number of size channels and sample measurement options.
The LS 2 Series particle size analyzers are the most capable and sophisticated particle size analyzers available on the commercial market today. In fact, many of the sub-systems are so unique they're patented. The LS uses reverse Fourier lens optics incorporated in a binocular lens system. This enables the LS to optimize light scattering across the widest dynamic range in a single scan.
Reproducibility is one of the most important factors in laser diffraction particle size analysis. Tighter product specs allow manufacturers of bulk and particulate materials to have a higher quality product. And while the industry standard for reproducibility is 2%-4% under ideal conditions, the LS 2 Series, typically, has better than 1% reproducibility.
