Covers a wide range of particle sizing applications. Dry powders, suspensions, colloids, and soils. If you need a larger range of measurement, compare our different models below.
From sample introduction to reportable data. Fast enough to keep pace with production QC schedules.
Hydro and Aero dispersion units handle sample preparation automatically. Less hands-on time, more consistent results.
Better than 0.5% for polystyrene latex standard. Consistent results, every time, regardless of operator.
At just 690 x 300mm and 30kg, the Mastersizer fits on a standard lab bench without dominating your workspace. It requires only a power connection with no external cooling or other plug-ins to function.
Mastersizer Xplorer software guides users through measurement and flags data quality issues automatically.
Most labs don't measure just one type of sample. The Mastersizer 3000+ Pro handles wet dispersions, dry powders, and everything from fine particles at 0.1 microns to coarse granules at 2,500 microns, all on a single optical bench.
With a choice of automated wet and dry dispersion units, you configure the system for your workflow today. Our expert team is here to guide you on the best configuration for your needs.
In quality-critical environments, a single unreliable measurement can mean a failed audit, a rejected batch, or costly rework. The Mastersizer 3000+ Pro's Xplorer software with Data Quality Guidance monitors every measurement as it happens, flagging dispersion issues and data quality problems before the result is recorded.
Combined with OmniTrust for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and Smart Manager for live instrument health monitoring, the Pro gives your team confidence that every result is audit-ready from the moment it's generated.
Weigh your powder or prepare your suspension. Most samples need less than 1 gram.
Add your sample to the wet or dry dispersion unit. The Hydro units handle suspensions; the Aero S handles dry powders.
The laser passes through your dispersed sample and the detector array captures the scattering pattern. All up it takes less than 10 seconds.
Xplorer software displays the particle size distribution immediately. Data Quality Guidance flags any issues automatically.
Generate reports in your required format. Export to LIMS, save as PDF, or overlay results for batch comparison.

The Mastersizer 3000+ range supports a wide selection of wet, dry, and automated accessories to match your sample type and throughput requirements.
The Mastersizer Auto-Lab is the auto sampler option for the Mastersizer 3000+ range. Measuring up to 42 samples, you can utilise the same measurement flexibility as the Mastersizer 3000+ whilst minimising manual operating time.
A small volume wet sample dispersion unit, useful where sample is very limited or where there are safety issues with the dispersant.
A medium volume automated wet dispersion unit. Suitable for both aqueous and non-aqueous applications, especially when sample size is limited.
A large volume automated wet dispersion unit, ideal for measuring larger particles and broad size distributions.
A unique wet dispersion unit with a dip-in pump and stirrer for dispersion in standard laboratory beakers.
A manual wet dispersion unit for non-aqueous dispersants where solvent usage needs to be minimised.
The Aero S is a fully automated dry powder disperser. The modular design ensures reproducible dispersion of the widest range of samples from cohesive powders to fragile materials.
The Aero funnel sample feeder enables bulk samples of up to 15g to be loaded directly into the Aero S dispersion unit. This enables quick and consistent measurements of bulk powders.
The Chocosizer kit optimises the workflow for the particle size measurement of chocolate cocoa and milk solids. It provides all the components required for chocolate QC methods.
Analysts can easily check the performance of the Mastersizer 3000+ dispersion units with a low cost Quality Audit Standard (QAS). This comprises glass spheres polydispersed between 10 and 120 microns, packaged in 'one-shot' vials. These standards completely fulfil the recommendations of ISO 13320.
The Hydro Insight sits alongside the Mastersizer 3000+ series and is a dynamic imaging accessory providing real time visualisation and analysis of liquid particle dispersions. The images and videos allow an understanding of how stirring, sonication, and surfactants affect the dispersion.
