S3500 Technology Improves
Accuracy and Consistency

The Microtrac S3500 with Tri-laser Technology Increases Accuracy, Range,


and Repeatability.
The Microtrac® S3500 employs the patented Tri-laser technology to provide accurate, reliable particle size information.
Even in the submicron range, measurements are made without typical sample-to-sample variation evident in many other
systems. By increasing the number of light sources, the unique Tri-laser technology makes more effective use of
photo-detection devices, while maintaining maximum stability and alignment of the optical system. Microtrac S3500
complies with or exceeds ISO 13320-1 Particle size analysis- Laser diffraction methods.

The Microtrac S3500 offers these Dry and Wet Options - Various delivery systems to choose
from with conversion between wet and dry measurement in

Another Simple Solution


Microtrac pioneered light-scattering technology in the early
70’s. Since then, Microtrac has set the standard for
particle size measurement by developing a full range of
instruments that meets the needs of the industry, deliver-
ing unmatched accuracy, precision, and ease of use. The
Automated Small Volume Recirculator (ASVR) can be
combined with the MAC-26 Autosampler to improve the
efficiency and precision of sample-handling operations.
The innovative modular design allows the S3500
Microtrac system to be upgraded whenever measurement
needs change.
