Particle size determination by Coulter counters

The particle size and particles count in coulter counter method depend on the assessable changes in electrical impedance produced by a nonconductive particle that suspended in an electrolyte. In this method of particle size analysis, the particle is suspended in the conductive solution such as electrolyte solution.
Here is mention some advantages and disadvantages of the Coulter counter method in particle size analysis let’s check it.
Advantages of the Coulter counter method in Particle Sizing
  • The operation is very easy.
  • Short testing cycle.
  • Comparatively high accuracy.
  • Most consistent method since we obtain information of size the of each particle.
Disadvantages of the Coulter counter method in Particle Sizing
  • Size range is Narrower.
  • Apertures get Easily blocked.
  • Electric conductivity of medium essential.
