Particle Size Distribution
Measure the distribution of particle sizes present within a powder or dispersed sample.

Particle Size Analysis
Laser diffraction particle size analysis for powders, dispersed particles, process development, and quality control.
Lorad performs laser diffraction particle size analysis using a HORIBA Partica LA-950V2, supporting particle size distribution measurements for individual samples, product development, process optimization, specification review, and recurring quality requirements.

WHAT PARTICLE SIZE ANALYSIS CAN TELL YOU
D10, D50 & D90
Report commonly used percentile diameters for product characterization and specification review.
Batch Comparison
Compare particle size distributions between lots, suppliers, or processing conditions.
Process Evaluation
Assess changes associated with milling, classification, precipitation, spray drying, and other processes.
Quality Control
Support incoming material, in process, and finished product particle size requirements.
MORE THAN A PARTICLE SIZE REPORT
Particle size data are most useful when the dispersion method and processing history are understood.
Lorad works with inorganic powders in synthesis, precipitation, milling, classification, spray drying, heat treatment, and production. That practical background helps us interpret particle size results in the context of how a material was made and how it is expected to perform.

Particle Size Analysis Pricing
Straightforward per sample pricing is available for routine particle size analysis. Volume pricing applies automatically as the number of samples increases.
| Number of Samples | Typical Turnaround | Price Per Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 samples | 4 to 5 business days | $110 |
| 4 to 10 samples | 5 to 6 business days | $90 |
| 11 to 20 samples | 8 to 10 business days | $75 |
| More than 20 samples | Variable | $65 |
Turnaround is measured from receipt of samples. Specialized sample preparation, unusual matrices, method development, or other nonstandard requirements may affect timing and pricing.
| Additional Charges | Price |
|---|---|
| Analytical method development | Quoted individually |
| Expedited analysis | 50% surcharge, subject to availability |
