Measurements with the Acorn Area are simple and easy. Suspensions and emulsions can be measured non-invasively, without dilution. One ml of the dispersion is placed in a glass vial and then inserted into the sample chamber. The test sequence is initiated with a key stroke and within minutes, the proprietary AreaQuantTM software algorithm reports the total measured surface area.

The Acorn Area Advantage:
Applications:
It is the ideal choice for fast analysis of solid or liquid particles of any size or shape and works up to high solids concentrations. With the Acorn Area the particle surface area measurement time is minimal - no sample preparation and no clean-up means significantly increased sample throughput. Important processes such as milling or grinding can be monitored in virtually real time.

The AcornTMArea is a revolutionary instrument
designed to measure the surface area of particles or droplets
dispersed in any type of liquid. This new generation (patented)
technique is based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and
offers many advantages in comparison with conventional first
generation surface area instrumentation.
Principle of Operation:
The liquid in contact with the surface of a particle behaves
differently from that of the bulk, or "free" liquid and this
effect can be detected through NMR relaxation and diffusion
measurements. The
AreaQuant software differentiates that behavior and
quantifies the surface area from these measurements.
The Acorn Area works with a wide range of materials in
virtually any liquid including:
