Aero Funnel Sample Feeder

Rapid QC measurements for bulk powder samples

The Aero funnel sample feeder is designed to help users achieve rapid, reproducible bulk dry powder particle size measurements by allowing samples to be added directly to the Aero S and Aero M dry powder dispersion units without opening the dispersion unit lid. This speeds up and simplifies the process of introducing samples for analysis, decreasing the time required to obtain results.

† Relates to the use of the unit with the Mastersizer 3000. Upper particle size limit is 1000µm when used with the Aero M on the Mastersizer 3000E.
Note: Magnetic materials cannot be measured using the funnel sample feeder as the feeder includes magnetic components
