The New Kid in Town: Bettersizer 2600 Plus 🔬

Particle characterisation has never been more critical. From pharmaceuticals and chemicals to materials and food products, understanding particle size and shape is essential for ensuring quality, consistency, and performance. Enter the Bettersizer 2600 Plus — the next-generation platform that takes particle analysis to a new level.

What’s New? Comparing to the Original Bettersizer 2600

The Bettersizer 2600 Plus builds on the capabilities of its predecessor, offering enhanced versatility, accuracy, and insight:

• Dual Measurement Modes in One Instrument
  Unlike the original Bettersizer 2600, which focused primarily on laser diffraction, the 2600 Plus combines laser diffraction with dual-camera dynamic imaging. This allows users to not only measure particle size but also capture high-speed images to quantify particle shape and visually inspect agglomerates, irregular particles, and oversized tails.
• Expanded Size Range
  The 2600 Plus covers 0.02–3500 μm, extending both the lower and upper detection limits compared to the original platform. This means it can handle ultrafine nanoparticles to coarse powders in a single measurement.
• Advanced Laser Diffraction
  Equipped with a 92-detector array and both Mie and Fraunhofer models, laser diffraction now delivers faster, more repeatable particle size distributions.
• Modular Dispersion Options
  The new modular design allows a wide range of wet and dry dispersion units, supporting different sample types, volumes, and solvents. This flexibility means a single instrument can cover diverse applications across multiple industries.
• Enhanced Imaging Capabilities
  Dual-camera high-speed dynamic imaging provides detailed particle morphology data and visual confirmation of size distributions, helping users identify irregularities or anomalies that laser diffraction alone might miss.

Why This Matters for Industry

In industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and advanced materials, having both size and shape information is crucial for:

• Optimising powder flow and formulation
• Detecting agglomerates or oversized particles
• Improving quality control and R&D efficiency
• Reducing waste and process variability

With the Bettersizer 2600 Plus, a single instrument now delivers comprehensive particle characterization in less time, with greater flexibility and confidence in the results.

The Bottom Line

The Bettersizer 2600 Plus isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a rethink of particle analysis, merging precision, speed, and versatility. Whether you’re working with nanoparticles, powders, or emulsions, this platform provides size, shape, and visual insight that helps you make better, data-driven decisions.
