FXNP This No-dilution Process monitor,can count and size particles in silica CMPs and other clean slurries, without diluting them. Our new focused beam sensors can measure the PSDs of particle suspensions that are much more concentrated than those that can be accommodated by conventional SPOS sensors. The complexity of the fluidics system is greatly reduced, resulting in a system that is low maintenance and highly reliable. Because less time is required to flush out the system between measurements, analysis times are shorter meaning that more can be made per hour. This results in tighter process control.

FXDP (Dilution Process) Like the FXNP, the FXDP uses our new focused beam sensors, which can operate at higher concentrations. Because there are slurries and other dispersions like inks and fat emulsions that are so concentrated that they cannot be analyzed neat. These kinds of products can be monitored by the FXDP system, which can dilute an incoming sample by a factor of 1 to 1000.

The Online Accusizer FX is designed to take our laboratory instrumentation known for high precision, accuracy, resolution and reproducibility, and carry it to the process line. Customizable computer controlled fluid-sampling devices are used to grab a precise aliquot of concentrated in-line dispersion and automatically inject it into the AccuSizer FX. The AccuSizer FX will allow users to quickly identify and quantify small levels of aggregates a few standard deviations away from the mean. In many process applications these particles spell the difference between success and failure. The resulting PSDs, with unique single-particle resolution, are identical to those that historically could only be obtained in the research laboratory.
