Sample Preparation and Sieve Analysis

RETSCH instruments are used in science and industry for the sample preparation for a wide range of different analytical methods as well as for particle size analysis in the context of production control and quality monitoring.

RETSCH meets the ever-increasing demands in these fields with a clear product philosophy: "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts"

In accordance with this principle we not only use high-quality components, but also place great value on their perfect interaction. The results are instruments characterized by their superior technology and outstanding reliability for each individual application in sample preparation and particle size analysis. This philosophy is reflected throughout the whole range of RETSCH products, which are arranged in three segments:

Fine Tuning Sieve Analysis for Accurate Particle Size Measurement

All to often, this useful method is overlooked. But if followed, these principles deliver accurate and reliable results at an affordable price.

When it comes to particle sizing, the classical technique of sieve analysis is often overlooked in favor of more modern methods. Yet, with the right equipment and proper care, sieve analysis yields accurate and reproducible results for a fraction fo the cost. As a standalone particle-sizing technique, sieing should be considered when the majority of the particles are over 75 microns. It can also be used for smaller sizes if the results are routinely verified. (...)
