PlastiTrax® Basic Kit
| Density |
The Basic Kit includes two tablets, each containing fragments of two polymer types with different densities – one with higher and one with lower density than water. This parameter plays a crucial role in recovery and allows you to test various scenarios. The tablets are available in two size fractions (25–50 µm and larger than 50 µm) and in two polymer combinations:
PS (1.05 g/cm³) and PET (1.38 g/cm³)
LDPE (0.92 g/cm³) and PVC (1.40 g/cm³)
This kit provides an ideal foundation for optimizing analyses and methods.
The Basic Kit is designed to be as user-friendly as possible. You will receive the two tablets along with detailed information on the particle count. These tablets can be easily dissolved in filtered water, allowing the workflow to proceed directly and the recovery to be assessed. This provides you with an efficient and cost-effective solution for your analyses.
The particle count per polymer type in this Basic Kit is approximately 70–140 particles per tablet. Since particle losses are to be expected during sample preparation, the particle count is calibrated to ensure optimal separation of particles within the tablet while remaining sufficiently high to minimize the impact of minor particle losses on recovery results. The exact particle count is provided for each tablet to ensure maximum transparency and traceability.
