Focus Scientific

Microtrac is a global leader in particle characterisation and analytical instrumentation, providing innovative solutions that help laboratories quantify size, shape, surface area, charge and stability of particulate materials. Their extensive product range supports quality control, research and development across industries including pharmaceuticals, materials science, chemicals, food, cosmetics and industrial powders.
At Focus Scientific, we supply and support key Microtrac systems in Ireland, helping laboratories gain reliable, high-quality particle analysis results with expert service and application guidance.

Accurate particle size and shape data are critical for understanding material behaviour, process performance and product quality. Microtrac’s particle characterisation solutions use multiple technologies to deliver comprehensive insights for powders, suspensions and dry materials.

  • Laser Diffraction instruments measure particle size distributions over a wide range, supporting reliable quality control and research workflows.

  • Dynamic Image Analysis systems provide detailed information on both size and shape, enabling advanced assessment of morphology and detecting oversize particles with high repeatability.

For nanometre-scale measurements and stability assessment of colloidal systems, Microtrac’s Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) technologies deliver precise particle sizing in suspensions and emulsions.
The STABINO ZETA analyser extends this capability to electrokinetic characterisation, delivering rapid, high-resolution zeta potential measurements alongside related parameters such as pH, conductivity and temperature to assess colloidal stability and formulation performance.

Surface area and pore structure impact critical material properties such as reactivity, adsorption and dissolution. Microtrac’s gas adsorption analysers provide accurate measurement of specific surface area and pore size distributions, supporting formulation, catalyst evaluation and porous material characterisation.
