The grain size composition can be determined with a laser diffractometer from Beckman-Coulter. The laser particle analyzer LS 13320 simultaneously measures the range from 2 mm to 40 nm. The laser particle analyzer uses the different light scattering of particles of different sizes.
We also perform particle size determinations for external customers. If you are interested and have any questions, please contact the laboratory manager

General applications in the soil physics lab comprise soil sample preparation, particle size analysis and estimation of soil moisture content.
