Mastersizer 3000E

The Mastersizer 3000 is highly regarded as the premier laser diffraction particle size analysis instrument on the market for design, performance and software user experience. However, some customers do not immediately need the advanced functionality that the Mastersizer 3000 offers. Malvern Panalytical have therefore introduced an entry level instrument to the Mastersizer product family which is based upon the proven design of the Mastersizer 3000 but with more basic performance and software functionality.

5.20

Version 5.20 is a maintenance release to support the introduction of a new microprocessor within the Mastersizer 3000+ and its accessories. 

See Software Update Notification (SUN) document for further details.

This software is compatible with Mastersizer range: Mastersizer 3000+ Ultra, Mastersizer 3000+ Pro, Mastersizer 3000+ Lab, Mastersizer 3000 and Mastersizer 3000E.

Note: This software no longer supports the use of the Malvern Access Control (MAC) or 21CFR Pt. 11 feature key. This functionality is now provided via OmniTrust. Users that wish to move onto the OmniTrust platform are now supported to retain access to their existing audit trail information. For more information, refer to the SUN document before installing the software or contact your Malvern Panalytical representative.

Accessories

Sample dispersion accessories for the Mastersizer 3000E

Mastersizer 3000E Basic and Extended

Hydro Insight

A window into deeper materials analysis

The Hydro Insight is a dynamic imaging accessory that sits alongside the Mastersizer 3000+, providing insights that go beyond particle size distribution to particle images and quantitative particle shape data. 

In this way, it helps scientists, researchers, and quality-control managers understand their materials better, develop methods faster, and simplify troubleshooting.

Hydro EV

Flexible volume wet dispersion

A unique dip-in wet sample dispersion unit that can be used with standard laboratory glassware. Suitable for a wide variety of dispersant volumes and particle size ranges.

Hydro SM

Small volume entry level wet dispersion unit

The Hydro SM is a cost effective wet sample dispersion unit designed for measuring samples in non-aqueous dispersants where solvent usage needs to be minimized.

Aero M

Routine particle size analysis for bulk dry powder samples

The Aero M dry powder disperser enables bulk dry powder samples to be measured using the Mastersizer laser diffraction particle size analyzer. Its simple design ensures that it is easy to use and maintain, delivering robust, reproducible particle size distribution measurements as part of routine production or quality control operations.

Aero Funnel Sample Feeder

Rapid QC measurements for bulk powder samples

The Aero funnel sample feeder is designed to help users achieve rapid, reproducible bulk dry powder particle size measurements by allowing samples to be added directly to the Aero S and Aero M dry powder dispersion units without opening the dispersion unit lid. This speeds up and simplifies the process of introducing samples for analysis, decreasing the time required to obtain results.

Mastersizer 3000 Chocosizer

Effective Chocolate production quality control

The goal of chocolate production is to produce a product with a consistent taste and mouthfeel in an economical and efficient way. Control of the cocoa and milk solids particle size and particle size distribution is critical to achieving this objective. The Mastersizer 3000 Chocosizer is designed to support chocolate production and quality control by providing a simple method for fast, reliable chocolate particle size analysis.

Mastersizer 3000E Extended only

Hydro MV

Medium volume automated dispersion unit.

The Hydro MV is a medium volume unit for the controlled, automated wet dispersion of samples for particle size analysis. Suitable for both aqueous and non-aqueous applications, it is especially useful when sample size is limited and/or dispersant use must be minimized.

Hydro LV

Large volume wet sample dispersion.

The Hydro LV is an automated large volume unit that controls wet dispersion of materials for particle size analysis. It is especially suitable for applications where the sample size is relatively large or the size distribution is very broad.
