What Are Your Particles Really Telling You? Discover Advanced Characterization at ACS Fall 2026

2026-08-07Exhibitions

August 23–27, 2026 | McCormick Place Convention Center, Chicago | Booth 1000

From nanoscale interactions to complex material systems, understanding particle properties is essential for advancing chemical research and developing innovative materials.

At ACS Fall 2026, Bettersize will showcase advanced characterization technologies designed to help researchers gain deeper insights into particle size, surface charge, morphology, and material behavior — supporting discoveries in nanomaterials, pharmaceuticals, polymers, energy materials, colloids, and advanced formulations.

Visit Booth 1000 to explore how precise particle analysis can help optimize materials, improve research efficiency, and uncover the information hidden within every particle.

Advanced Characterization Solutions

for Next-Generation Chemical Research

BeNano 180 Zeta Max

For Nano & Colloidal Chemistry: Multi-Angle DLS — Sub-Nano to 50 μm in One System

Understanding nanoparticle behavior is essential for controlling stability, interactions, and performance in complex chemical systems.

Go beyond single-angle DLS. The BeNano 180 Zeta Max gives you more parameters, more angles, more confidence in your nanoparticle data:

● 4 detection angles (173° / 90° / 12° / 0°) — cross-validate size, measure zeta potential, and determine dispersant refractive index from one sample
● Sedimentation mode — extends sizing to ~50 μm via Stokes' law. Perfect for tracking aggregation kinetics and polydisperse systems
● 6-in-1 measurement: size + zeta potential + molecular weight + concentration + microrheology + refractive index
● Only 3 μL needed — ideal for precious synthesized samples and expensive bioconjugates

✨ From self-assembling micelles to aggregating colloids — one system covers it all.

Bettersizer 2600 Plus

For Powder & Particle Engineering: Laser Diffraction + Dynamic Imaging — Size & Shape in One Run

Particle size alone may not fully explain material performance. Understanding particle shape and structure provides deeper insight into processing behavior and application potential.

Why settle for just size when shape matters too? The Bettersizer 2600 Plus combines laser diffraction and dynamic imaging to deliver comprehensive particle characterization.

● 0.02 – 2,600 μm range (extendable to 3,500 μm) — covers fine chemicals to granular materials
● 92-detector optical system with patented dual-lens design — exceptional resolution for narrow distributions
● Real-time particle imaging — see agglomerates, irregular crystals, and oversized tails that pure LD would miss
● Wet & dry modular dispersion — handle everything from aqueous suspensions to reactive dry powders

✨ Catalysts, pigments, excipients, polymers — get the full picture, not just a number.

BeVision D3

For Granular & Crystal Systems: Dynamic Image Analysis — 37 Shape Parameters in 3 Minutes

Particle morphology can reveal critical information that conventional size analysis may overlook.

When size alone isn't enough — see every particle. The BeVision D3 captures thousands of individual particle images per run and delivers morphology data you can act on:

● 0.5 μm – 26 mm ultra-wide range — micronized APIs to polymer pellets, one instrument
● 37+ shape parameters — circularity, aspect ratio, elongation, convexity, and more. Perfect for crystal morphology studies
● ~3 minute results — fast enough for routine QC, detailed enough for R&D
● Sieve-correlation mode — directly comparable to traditional sieve analysis for easy method transfer

✨ Crystallization, granulation, powder flow — if shape affects performance, you need to see it.
