Sample size requirements reduced for particle analysis system

A new sample handling system reduces minimum volume requirements on the manufacturer’s particle characterization system from 10 mL to 4 mL. The new adapter accommodates Nalgene 5 mL polyethylene vials and will address the volume range important to customers who are sensitive to sample size and dilution effects. The ability to accept smaller volumes is critical in applications in which samples are rare and/or expensive. The manufacturer says the adapter was initially developed for the protein formulation market, but they quickly realized the new vials could be used by cell biologists, chemists and geologists — any customers with precious samples.
