Description
A particle size analysing instrument for use in laboratories. A dynamic light scattering instrument for the measurement of size, weight and zeta potential of dispersed particles & molecules. For use with sample types such as proteins, surfactant solutions and low solid content samples. This entry level range includes dynamic light scattering (DLS) for analysis of particle size measurements and includes a max.10mW HeNe laser (633nm) with high sensitivity APD detector. Size/Molecular Weight by DLS/SLS measured at 90-degrees. Unique adaptive correlation for faster, reproducible, DLS measurements with no data loss. Zeta potential analysis incorporates M3-PALS and constant current zeta mode for measurement of zeta potential distributions and improved data quality in conductive media. Comes with ZS Xplorer analytical application software with builder for measurement control and data analysis with advanced data quality assessment feedback. The system can be updated on site to a higher specification model.

Justification
Classification has been determined in accordance with the following: For the purposes of determining the commodity codes within which goods most appropriately fall, reg 3 (1) of The Customs Tariff (Establishment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 sets out that the rules of interpretation contained in the following have effect: a. Part Two (Goods Classification Table Rules of Interpretation) of the Tariff of the United Kingdom (Reg 3(1)(a)); and b. Notes to a section or chapter of the Goods Classification Table (Reg 3(1)(b)). General Interpretative Rules (GIRs): GIR 1 has been used to classify this product by the terms of heading 9027 - Instruments and apparatus for physical or chemical analysis (for example, polarimeters, refractometers, spectrometers, gas or smoke analysis apparatus); instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking viscosity, porosity, expansion, surface tension or the like; instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking quantities of heat, sound or light (including exposure meters); microtomes. GIR 6 Has been used to classify the goods to subheading level 90275000 - Other instruments and apparatus using optical radiation (uv, visible, ir). Also classified in accordance with: Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSENs) to heading 9027
