Particle Characterization

This latest evolution in the LA series advances scientific knowledge for tomorrow’s world through intuitive software, unique accessories, and high performance. The LA-960 continues HORIBA’s proud tradition of leading the industry with innovative design.

Performance that matters

• Measure particle size between 10 nanometers and 5 millimeters
• State of the art nanoparticle measurement resolves peaks at 30 nanometers
• Suitable for suspensions, emulsions, powders, pastes, gels, and creams
• Easy to use dry powder accessory, read the PowderJet page for more information
• Requires only micrograms* of sample, minimizing cost of analysis
• Flexible, fully automated measurement sequences maximize precision and method compliance
• Excellent reproducibility and unit-to-unit agreement, read the Gage R&R Study for more information
• Measurements in less than 60 seconds boost productivity
• Based on the ultra-durable LA-950 platform, noted for its reliability

Software that grows to meet your needs

• New users are guided by the Method Expert software to create powerful measurement methods with no prior training
• Experienced users create turn-key measurements with the Sequence function to include custom messages, measurement averaging, pass/fail repeats, and much more
