Suspension Fluids
The materials used in the construction of the MLM that come in contact with the suspension fluid
are Teflon
®
, 316 stainless steel, glass, and Kal-rez
®
.
Only use suspension fluids that have flash points greater than 10.0°C (50°F) and meet the
requirements listed below. Examples of fluids that can be used in the MLM are water, acetone, weak
aqueous-based acids or bases, mineral oils, ethylene glycol, hexane, etc. The suspension fluid used
depends on the type of sample to be analyzed.
Suspension fluid requirements:
•
Chemical Compatibility
- does not adversely react with the MLM components mentioned above.
•
Transparency
- transparent in the 450nm to 900 nm range
•
Clarity
- no contamination or extraneous particles
•
Consistency
- no bubbles
•
Density
- lighter than the sample particles
•
Wettability
- able to deflocculate the sample particles
•
Fluidity
- low viscosity for rapid stirring
•
Insolubility
- no dissolution of particles
•
Chemical neutrality
- neutral to the sample and the MLM
