The Master Science Spray Particle Size Analyzer is built for droplet size distribution testing on small spray devices. It measures droplets in the air without touching them, across 0.1 to 100 μm, and includes a lens protection device so the optics stay clean while sprays pass through the open measurement zone.
Typical subjects are medical atomizers, atomized medications, aerosols, sprays and similar small spray equipment. The Master Science Spray Particle Size Analyzer starts a measurement the moment a spray is released, so data are captured in real time.

Key Benefits
- Made for sprays:: the Master Science Spray Particle Size Analyzer measures airborne droplets without contact.
- Instant data:: testing is triggered by the spray itself.
- Clean optics:: airflow keeps droplets off the lens.
- Wider range, finer resolution:: dual-lens, dual-array detection.
- Realistic distributions:: free-fitting analysis without a fixed model.
For powders and suspensions, see the Master Science wet and dry laser particle size analyzer.

Optional Accessories
Common Problems This Analyzer Solves
Sizing spray droplets raises difficulties that ordinary particle sizers do not address.
- Droplets foul the lens:: the airflow protection device keeps them away.
- Sprays last only a moment:: measurement starts automatically when the spray fires.
- Sampling changes the droplets:: the open, non-contact measurement zone leaves them undisturbed.
- Narrow detection angle limits range:: dual lenses and dual detector arrays capture more scattered light.
