The LISST-Portable|XR is the world’s first and only battery powered portable particle size analyzer. It can be used in the field, in the laboratory or on the factory floor.

The LISST-Portable|XR analyzes the sample in a wet state to obtain the particle size distribution and the particle volume concentration. The LISST-Portable|XR uses the same laser light scattering method (laser diffraction) as popular laboratory particle size analyzers.

It has all the features and performance of a laboratory instrument but in a self-contained, portable enclosure that allows you to make measurements where it’s needed, when it’s needed.

Why do I need a portable particle size analyzer?

There are many applications where having a portable instrument is very helpful. Making measurements of samples from a small stream without sample handling issues or measuring drilling fluid on the drill site for faster results are two examples. However, having a portable instrument is also useful even if you only plan to use it in a lab environment. For example, you might have a need to measure particle size at multiple facilities but the cost of laboratory particle size analyzers is too high to justify one instrument at each location. Moving these instruments from place to place is not easy and takes too long. The LISST-Portable|XR can be easily moved from location to location with no setup. Open the lid, turn it on and you are ready to go. When you are done with it, just store it under the bench or in a cabinet until it is needed.   The costs in money and manpower for labeling, tracking, transporting, storing, and processing samples can be high. Making measurements right at the source can eliminate these costs while providing instant actionable data.
