Particle characterization workflows requiring laser diffraction measurement can benefit from the established HORIBA LA-910 laser diffraction particle size analyzer. The LA-910 is a legacy HORIBA instrument based on Mie scattering theory and provides particle size measurement across a 0.02 to 1,000 ?m range. Its configuration combines optical particle detection with sample circulation and ultrasonic dispersion functions, making it relevant to laboratory analysis of particle size distributions in liquid samples. HORIBA identifies the LA-910 as a legacy instrument, with the Partica LA-960V2 listed as its successor.
Key Features
- Laser diffraction particle size analysis based on Mie scattering theory.
- Measurement range of 0.02 to 1,000 ?m.
- 632.8 nm He-Ne laser optical source.
- 18-division silicon photodiode array with additional silicon photodiodes.
- Sample recirculation system with mechanical stirring, ultrasonic chamber, and circulation pump.

Technical Specifications
The HORIBA LA-910 uses a 632.8 nm, 1 mW He-Ne laser and a 50 W tungsten lamp. Its optical detection system includes an 18-division silicon photodiode array and additional silicon photodiodes. The sample recirculation system incorporates mechanical stirring up to 1,000 rpm, a 40 W, 39 kHz ultrasonic chamber, and a peristaltic circulation pump with a stated discharge rate of up to 1,000 mL/min for distilled water. The instrument uses a Tempax glass sample flow cell and provides an RS-232C communication port. Manufacturer documentation lists dimensions of approximately 650 ? 570 ? 320 mm and a weight of approximately 55 kg excluding the computer.
Common Applications
The LA-910 is applicable to particle size distribution analysis and particle characterization workflows where laser diffraction is used to evaluate particulate materials. Its analysis functions include median diameter, mean diameter, standard deviation, mode diameter, span value, coefficient of variation, and frequency or percent-under/oversize distribution presentations. Measurement preparation can include controlled agitation, ultrasonic treatment, circulation, dilution, and rinsing.
