Single Particle Optical Sizing (SPOS) with the LPC 500™ Liquid Particle Counter

The LPC 500™ Liquid Particle Counter from PerkinElmer is a single particle optical sizing (SPOS) system that has been developed particularly for counting and sizing particles separately with high resolution.

该系统仅需要4毫升的10倍稀释样品才能用于服务机油样品，从而在高粘度样品和低粘度样品之间可再现结果。这也减少了溶剂废物和冲洗要求。

• The LPC 500 offers a sample-to-sample analysis time of approximately 45 seconds
• It exhibits the smallest footprint of any independent automated particle counter
• The system combines smoothly with ICP-OES for executing elemental analysis
• It requires below 1 mL of lubricant sample per analysis

Overview

The LPC 500 comprises three components: an optical sensor, a software controller and a multi-channel pulse analyzer (MPA). The product comes in two configurations:

• 独立的LPC 500可用于执行粒子计数，该粒子计数提供了95秒的样本对样本分析时间，样品量相同，样品量和样品制备也相同。此功能已由单个软件包进行调节，该软件包允许广泛的粒子计数参数的可自定义性。
• The patent-pending option couples the LPC 500 counter with the Avio^®550 Max ICP-OES Oils system, thus facilitating the analysis of the same diluted sample for both wear metals and particle counting or sizing. Thus, two analyses can be performed in a single run. In addition to this, all features and data outputs for the LPC 500 system have been integrated into Syngistix™ for ICP software, thereby leveraging a single software platform for both analyses.
