In cooperation with LECO and Sartorius, FRITSCH will conduct the workshop Good analysis results through perfect sample preparation at the LECO European Application and Technology Center.

In the part of the seminar led by Fritsch, we will deepen our understanding of modern sample preparation, grinding technologies and the best methods for achieving reliable and reproducible results:

• Why representative sampling is crucial

• How randomisation and homogenisation help to minimise errors

• The basics of comminution• How material properties (hardness, brittleness, ductility) influence mill selection • Comparison of grinding materials (agate, ZrO₂, Si₃N₄, Al₂O₃, WC, stainless steel)

• Understanding abrasion, contamination risks and mechanical properties

• Bead size, vessel volume, rotational speed, grinding time

• Useful rules of thumb

• Limits of safe operation, temperature control and overpressure relief mechanisms

• Operational safety (handling liquid nitrogen, reactive or temperature-sensitive materials)

Contents of the workshop:

Annual particle analysis workshop Fritsch,  they will share their expertise & broad knowledge, you will get professional answers to questions concerning sample comminution & particle size analysis. You can test Fritsch lab instruments during the hands-on part of the workshop. So bring your own samples and we will assess answer the following questions together:

Do you know the particle size of your material?
Do you master the art of isolating the representative sample?
Can sieving be replaced by using a particle size analyzer?
How do you break down your material in an automatic and uniform way?
