Particle Size and Shape Analysis Service refers to the systematic measurement of particle dimensions, aspect ratios, surface features, and distribution using advanced imaging and analytical techniques. MtoZ Biolabs offers professional Particle Size and Shape Analysis Service to provide high-quality, reproducible, and publication-ready results, giving researchers and manufacturers comprehensive insights into particle populations in powders, tablets, crystals, and other materials.
Particle size and shape are fundamental properties that determine the performance, safety, and quality of powders, granules, suspensions, and solid dosage forms. These parameters influence critical aspects of product behavior such as dissolution rate, bioavailability, flowability, packing density, and stability. In pharmaceuticals, particle characteristics affect drug release profiles, manufacturing efficiency, and patient outcomes. In industries such as food science, materials engineering, chemicals, and nanotechnology, they define texture, mechanical properties, and overall product uniformity. Understanding and controlling particle size and morphology is therefore essential for ensuring product quality, meeting regulatory requirements, and achieving consistency in research and manufacturing.
Service at MtoZ Biolabs

Our Particle Size and Shape Analysis Services include, but are not limited to:
1. High-Throughput Imaging
Particles are dispersed and imaged using optical or electron microscopy, automated imaging systems, or dynamic particle imaging technologies.
2. Dimensional Measurement
The system measures key parameters such as particle diameter, length, width, perimeter, and area.
3. Shape Characterization
Beyond size, image analysis calculates aspect ratio, roundness, sphericity, and other shape descriptors that influence material behavior.
4. Distribution Analysis
By analyzing thousands of particles, the technique produces reliable statistical distributions of size and shape, capturing variability and subpopulations within the sample.
