If a vortex mixer produces too much energy during sample preparation for particle size analysis, the size and morphology of particles can change. A study compares the applied shear to sample suspensions of ibuprofen to observe the effects of applied shear on the particle size distribution.
Sample preparation is a crucial step during particle size analysis, especially when trying to maximize accuracy and precision. A vortex mixer is frequently used its importance may be overlooked.
