Analysis model
Section/option Description
Analysis Model -
standard
General Purpose – this model is appropriate for most
samples, including naturally occurring and milled materials.
You should select this model unless you know that your
sample meets more specific requirements stated for the
other analysis modes provided for the system.
Narrow Modes – this model is appropriate for sample
consisting of one or more narrow modes, where each mode
spans much less than a decade in size. It is not intended for
use with broad distributions which exhibit more than one
peak.
Verification Latex (Wet dispersion units only) – this
model is designed to enable the analysis of one or more very
narrow Latex size standards, such as those used during ver-
ification of the optical unit performance.
Note: For all of the analysis models – use the ‘Keep a single
result mode’ option in the Advanced settings to force the
analysis to only report the most significant mode present
within the sample.
Analysis Model -
Mastersizer
2000/2000E
emulator mode
With the Enable Mastersizer 2000 / 2000E Analysis Emu-
lator options enabled (options menu ) 3 additional
emulated Mastersizer 2000 / 2000E analysis models are
added to the list.
The emulator converts a Mastersizer 3000/3000E results to
how it would be analysed on a Mastersier 2000/2000E
instruments, The extra analysis modes are:
General Purpose (Emulated MS2000 / MS2000E) –
this model is appropriate for the majority of milled and natu-
rally occurring samples.
Multiple modes (Emulated MS2000 / MS2000E) – this
model is appropriate for sample consisting of one or more
very narrow modes, such as polystyrene lattices.
