Particle size analysis accessories

The human biological materials may be solid (bone, teeth, hair, nails, tissue), semisolid (blood, faeces, viscera) or liquids (body fluids). Treatment of the solid samples usually demands some extra steps during sample manipulation, e.g. particle size reduction, homogenisation, sub-sampling etc. Heterogeneous liquid phases, e.g. blood and certain body fluids, additionally need stabilisation and homogenisation so as to avoid occurrence of any changes in their composition, prior to actual analysis (Anand et al., 1975). It is also advisable to keep the total number of transfers to a minimum, and use accessories made of non-wettable and inert materials in case of the liquids.
