Introduction to this Manual About this Manual This Manual describes the operation of the Malvern Mastersizer 2000 and 2000E. particle size analysers. Information is also given on basic use of the Hydro 2000G. and Hydro 2000MU sample dispersion units: Instrument Model number Mastersizer 2000 APA2000. Mastersizer 2000E EPA2000. Hydro 2000G AWA2000. Hydro 2000MU AWM2001. For more detailed information on the operation of any sample dispersion unit, see its individual Manual . This user Manual is a companion to the Mastersizer 2000 Essentials Manual which gives Health and Safety, maintenance and other vital information which all users must read.

9 After reading this user Manual , users should understand the basic measurement technique and be able to perform a simple measurement, analyse the data and iden- tify the main features of the system. For users who have never operated a Malvern particle analyser before, we recom- mend reading this Manual fully before starting the first measurement. Users who are more familiar with particle size analysers may wish to proceed straight to Chapter 4 which gives details on making measurements. However, the importance of sample preparation before measurement cannot be overstated. We therefore recommend that these users read the chapter on sample preparation (Chapter 8) soon.

10 Mastersizer Page 2 Tuesday, March 20, 2007 8:56 AM. 1 Chapter 1 Introduction to this Manual Warning! The instrument and the samples to be measured may be hazardous if mis- used. Users must read the Health and Safety information in the Essen- tials Manual before operating the system. Access to the instrument Within this Manual , reference is made to the various people who will have access to the instrument. Below is a list of these people and their responsibility: Malvern personnel Malvern personnel (service engineers, representatives, etc.) have full access to the instrument and are authorised to perform all service procedures that may require the removal of the covers. Supervisor The supervisor is the person responsible for the management/safety of the instru- ment and of its operation.
