Micromeritics Instrument Launches the SAS II for Particle Sizing
The device uses the air permeability technique to enhance the productivity and accuracy of particle sizing.
Micromeritics Instrument, a material characterization technology company based in Norcross, GA, announced the launch of the Sub-Sieve Autosizer II (SAS II), a device that enhances the productivity and accuracy of particle sizing via the air permeability technique, on Dec. 3, 2019.
According to a company press release, the autosizer comes equipped with fully automated measurement sequences which include computer-controlled sample compaction and pressure stability for high repeatability. Reports are generated automatically and can be customized to meet company requirements as security features lock down measurement methods and configuration parameters from unofficial changes.
The device handles particle size measurements from 0.2 µm to 75 µm by using the non-destructive air permeability technique to measure the pressure drop across a packed bed of sample at a defined air flow rate, accurately measuring finer powders, according to the release. Additionally, the autosizer functions with specific ASTM standards including E2980, E2651, B330-12, and B330-15 for metal powders and C721-15 for alumina and silica powders.

Clinical Supply Planning in Europe - Balancing Cost, Flexibility and Time
December 19th 2024The packaging and distribution of clinical supplies is a fundamental piece to the overall success of a clinical trial, and advance preparation can help establish a more efficient supply chain. Selecting the best geographical location for those activities, however, depends on the clinical trial protocol, business decisions, and even the investigational medicinal product (IMP) being studied.
