Particle Size Analyzer
Our portfolio of particle sizing instruments for better particles
Sympatec designs, manufactures, supplies, and supports a comprehensive range of advanced instruments for particle size and particle shape analysis in both laboratory and process environments. Through continuous innovation, we contribute significantly to the development of sustainable and high-performance sensor technologies, product-specific dispersion and dosing systems, and process-adapted sampling methods. Our proven, high-performance systems enable reliable characterisation of dry and wet disperse particle systems—including powders, granules, fibres, suspensions, emulsions, gels, sprays, and inhalants—covering particle sizes from below one nanometre to over 30 millimetres.
Our instrument portfolio is built on four core sensor technologies: laser diffraction, dynamic image analysis, ultrasonic extinction, and dynamic light scattering with photon cross-correlation spectroscopy. The chosen physical measurement principle directly influences instrument design. A modular system architecture allows flexible configuration tailored to specific applications and products, eliminating the need for complex sample preparation. Our objective is to measure particle systems in their original state.
This is achieved through a broad selection of dispersion systems and dosing units for HELOS laser diffraction and QICPIC dynamic image analysis. At the core of each measuring system is the sensor, whose optical bench defines the integration of interchangeable lenses, dispersers, and dosing units. The central system architecture also includes powerful evaluation and control software that seamlessly integrates all system components and peripherals, providing a unified software platform across all sensor technologies.
Applications Worldwide
Sympatec systems are used globally across scientific and industrial applications, including:
Quality control of disperse particle systems, from raw material inspection to final products
Product and method development
Scaling-up processes from laboratory to full production
Monitoring, controlling, and optimizing unit operations
All instruments deliver highly precise, reproducible, and comparable results with extremely short measurement times. The consistent use of identical measurement principles ensures excellent comparability between laboratory and process-based particle analysis.
