Observe dispersion trendsVisualize your particles Detect unusual events

Automated anomaly detection allows oversized particles, agglomerates or foreign particles to be captured automatically and cross referenced with your laser diffraction results.

A picture paints a thousand particles. Hydro Sight provides a live view along with image and video capture of your sample dispersion in-line with your laser diffraction system.

Sample agglomeration, de-agglomeration or dissolution can be visualized and quantified using size and shape metrics. A Dispersion Index‡ also gives an instant indication of changes in dispersion state.

The revolutionary Hydro Sight lens-less imaging‡ accessory provides rapid visualization and assessment of your liquid particle dispersions during a laser diffraction measurement. Real-time observation of the particles in the measurement flow allows improved understanding of how stirring, sonication and addition of surfactants and stabilizers affect the dispersion of a sample. One-click capture of images, videos and dispersion metrics provides quick and effective supporting evidence for method troubleshooting and validation in line with ISO13320 and USP<429> guidance.

How does Hydro Sight work?

Hydro Sight is designed to be used with a laser diffraction system which is connected to a recirculating liquid dispersion accessory. It captures images of a dispersed sample flowing through a specially designed cell using lens-less‡ dynamic imaging technology. No focusing or calibration by the user is required.

Observe and analyze

The Hydro Sight software provides constantly updated particle size and particle elongation distributions, along with a Dispersion Index‡ trend plot, allowing real-time monitoring of a sample’s state of dispersion. Additionally there are options to save images or videos to record specific events.

Quickly validate methods

Hydro Sight helps you validate your particle sizing methods by providing visual evidence and supporting data to allow you to swiftly arrive at the optimum method. It represents a valuable investment for anybody who regularly needs to develop and validate new methods.

Easy maintenance and cleaning

Hydro Sight is chemically compatible with a wide range of organic and aqueous dispersants. The imaging cell is designed for minimal maintenance, taking advantage of the laser diffraction system clean-cycle to ensure data quality. An easy access hinged cell door provides you with the facility to clean the imaging flow cell in the event of contamination remaining on the cell windows.
