Halo Labs Horizon Particle Analyzer

• Characterising protein aggregates and sub-visible particles in biopharmaceutical formulations.
• Analysing particle contamination in parenteral drugs and medical devices.
• Research and development for new drug delivery systems and formulations.
• Quality control and assurance in sterile manufacturing environments.
• Studying nanoparticle and microparticle suspensions in academic and industrial research.

Particle size range

Typically covers a broad range from sub-micron to several hundred microns, depending on the specific optical setup.

Detection principle

Commonly employs light obscuration or dynamic light scattering for particle sizing and counting.

Sample volume

Units of this type typically require small sample volumes, often in the microlitre range.

Throughput

Analysis times are generally rapid, allowing for efficient processing of multiple samples.

Power supply

Typically operates on standard laboratory mains power, commonly 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Data output

Often includes comprehensive software for data acquisition, analysis, and reporting, with connectivity via USB or Ethernet.

Footprint

Benchtop design is common for this class of analytical equipment, requiring moderate laboratory space.
