By Allen Licha, PMP, Cospheric LLC Last month Cospheric attended the Quality Show in Rosemont, IL. As a global supplier of precision spherical particles, striving to provide the highest quality microparticles on the market, quality is a huge part of what we do at Cospheric. Performing accurate measurements is vital to our business. Metrology, the … Read more
Particle size: Particle size is connected to many of the other parameters of seed particles in a PIV system. With size affecting visibility, flow conformity, and being integral in relation to pixel size. A rough number for ideal particle size is 1-100um though sizes in the nm and mm?s have been used for certain PIV … Read more
What are Custom Janus Particles? Janus particle is anisotropic and refers to a particle, typically of spherical shape, with two hemispheres which may vary in color, optical properties, surface tension, electrostatic charge, magnetic response, conductivity, fluorescence, reflectivity and more. Custom Janus Particles Manufacturing Cospheric LLC uses a patented process to offer a unique capability of … Read more
Flow Visualization can best be accomplished with colored or fluorescent tracing particles of the same density as the fluid being studied. Very bright fluorescent micro-particles are available in densities of 1g/cc these offer not only bright testing under daylight conditions, but also the option of illumination with lasers or uv lights for increased system contrast.
During scientific experiment design and analysis it is common to need to know the number of spheres per gram of dry material. We have put together the table below to help speed up the process.
Silica nanoparticles and nanospheres are now available in distributions of less than 10% CV in the sizes of 0.25 micron, 0.5micron, 0.75 micron, 1.0 micron, 4 micron and 8 micron.
Barium Titanate Glass microspheres are high density solid glass spheres. At a Density of 4.5g/cc these solid glass spheres can be used for many scientific applications where high density and optical clarity is needed. In addition to high density they also offer an index of refraction of more than 1.9.
Cospheric announces new particle size ranges for its BKPMS, Paramagnetic Microsphere product.
Thanks to customer demand for narrower particle size ranges of paramagnetic microspheres. Cospheric has added the following sizes to its extensive inventory of microspheres offered in the dry powder form:
In the biomedical industry researchers are sometimes looking for cells having targeted specific gravities. In order to locate these cells in test tubes it is useful to have colored marker beads which will show where the delineation between specific densities occurs. Two microsphere products having densities of 1.065 g/cc and 1.075 g/cc were recently released. These spheres are offered with density tolerances of ?0.005 g/cc enabling excellent stratification, and bright blue and red coloration for high visibility with the unaided eye.
Cospheric LLC is now offering a product line of solid red polyethylene microspheres in particle size ranges from 10um to 1000um (1mm).
We are compiling a digital database on everything that has to do with microspheres and creating a destination for scientists working with precision spherical particles.
