Particle Size Distribution Testing
Particle Technology Labs specializes in particle size and material testing services for clients from many different industries, and Particle Size Distribution testing is one of our core services. A Particle Size Distribution Analysis (PSD) determines and reports information about the size and range of particles representative of a given material. This analysis can be performed using a variety of techniques; the most suitable will be determined based on the sample properties and question at hand.
Accurate particle size distribution testing plays a critical role in product development, manufacturing, and quality assurance because particle size directly influences material performance across countless applications. Variations in particle size can affect dissolution, flowability, filtration, suspension stability, reactivity, and other essential physical properties that determine product quality. PTL evaluates each project’s objectives, sample characteristics, and regulatory considerations before recommending the most appropriate particle size analysis technique for the application. Rather than relying on a single particle size distribution testing method, our scientists select the analytical approach that will generate the most meaningful and reliable data for each material. This consultative process helps clients across industries troubleshoot manufacturing challenges, compare material lots, optimize formulations, support regulatory submissions, and make informed technical decisions with greater confidence.
