Proven Long Life Lasers™ In Optical Particle Counters Optical particle counters (OPC) utilize light illumination and extinction to determine the presence, size, number and/or concentration of particles. Particles are typically suspended in a fluid or air, which flow through the volume that is illuminated and viewed by the detection system.

Comparing The Automated Pipetting To Volumetric Glassware And Air Displacement Pipettes
Analytical sample preparation is used in many industries such as forensics, environmental chemistry, mining, beer and wine fermentation and many others. Concentrated samples are diluted and analyzed via High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Gas Chromatography, Atomic Absorption, and/or Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy to name a few. Traditionally these samples are prepared using volumetric glassware, syringes and/or pipettes.
