Bettersize Instruments Launches Bettersizer 2600 Plus for Integrated Particle Size and Shape Analysis

Bettersize Instruments has introduced the Bettersizer 2600 Plus, an advanced all-in-one particle size and shape analyzer. It combines laser diffraction with dual-camera dynamic imaging to provide comprehensive analysis across a wide size range (0.02 μm to 3500 μm). Designed for complex materials, this system offers deeper insights into particle characteristics, crucial for understanding product performance across diverse industries. Its modular design and efficient software streamline research and quality control workflows, ensuring fast and reliable results.

Bettersize Instruments, a global leader in particle characterization technologies, announced the launch of the Bettersizer 2600 Plus on March 12, 2026. This next-generation instrument is designed to offer deeper insights into complex materials by integrating both particle size and shape analysis into a single system, addressing limitations of traditional particle size analysis alone. Modern materials require an understanding of particle shape, distribution, and dispersion behavior to ensure optimal quality, stability, and functionality across various industries, including battery materials, ceramics, inks, and coatings.The Bettersizer 2600 Plus combines a sophisticated laser diffraction system with a dual-camera dynamic imaging module (PIC-1). The laser diffraction system features a 92-detector array and supports both Mie and Fraunhofer optical models, enabling fast and reliable particle size distribution measurements across a range of 0.02 μm to 3500 μm. The PIC-1 module complements this by capturing high-speed particle images (up to 70 frames per second), which allows for quantitative shape analysis, identification of agglomerates, and visual detection of irregular or oversized particles. This powerful combination provides comprehensive particle analysis.The system's modular architecture offers flexible dispersion options, including various wet and dry units, to accommodate diverse material types like powders, suspensions, and emulsions. The intuitive Bettersizer software platform integrates instrument control, data analysis, and report generation, streamlining the workflow. It features automated system preparation and real-time measurement control, with typical measurements completed in under 10 seconds, boasting repeatability better than 0.5% and full compliance with ISO 13320. The software also provides flexible reporting tools. By delivering integrated particle size and shape analysis, the Bettersizer 2600 Plus transforms routine testing into a valuable source of material insight, helping manufacturers and researchers better understand and optimize product performance.
