| The new Elzone® II 5390 Particle Size Analyzer utilizes the electrical sensing zone method to size samples without regard to optical properties, densities, colors, and shapes. The Elzone quickly and accurately determines the size, number, concentration, and mass of a wide variety of organic and inorganic materials. Automated features include: start-up, run, and shut-down routines; blockage detection and clearing; flushing/rinsing; and calibration. The Elzone determines particle size in a range suitable for a wide variety of industrial, biological, and geological specimens. A high level of accuracy and resolution, speed, ease-of-use, and compact size make the Elzone equally suitable for industry, quality control, and research and development laboratories. |

A Note About 32- and 64-Bit Windows and Micromeritics' Software
Micromeritics Windows based software is currently compatible with the 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows operating systems. However, the 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems are not compatible with Micromeritics Windows based software. To avoid incompatibility issues Micromeritics Windows based software should be executed only within the 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems.
