LS™ 2 Series Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyzers

LS™ 2 Series Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyzers

The Beckman Coulter LS 2 Series is a system of multifunctional particle characterization tools. Its patented state-of-the-art, laser-based technology permits analysis of particles without the risk of missing either the largest or the smallest particles in a sample.


The LS technology is based on theories of light scattering. The LS differs from other laser-based instruments by virtue of its wide dynamic size range, number of size channels and sample measurement options.

The LS 2 Series Utilizes Unique Patented Systems

The LS 2 Series particle size analyzers are the most capable and sophisticated particle size analyzers available on the commercial market today. In fact, many of the sub-systems are so unique they're patented. The LS uses reverse Fourier lens optics incorporated in a binocular lens system. This enables the LS to optimize light scattering across the widest dynamic range in a single scan.

The LS Delivers Excellent Data Reproducibility

Reproducibility is one of the most important factors in laser diffraction particle size analysis. Tighter product specs allow manufacturers of bulk and particulate materials to have a higher quality product. And while the industry standard for reproducibility is 2%-4% under ideal conditions, the LS 2 Series, typically, has better than 1% reproducibility.
