Sequoia’s LISST-200X enjoys popularity amongst microplastics researchers. The instrument has been used to analyze microplastic particle distributions from disposable masks[i] , investigate interactions between oil droplets and microplastics[ii],[iii],[iv]...
Sequoia’s Laser In Situ Scattering and Transmissometry (LISST) particle size analyzers have significantly advanced the understanding of flocculation in aquatic environments. Since the mid-1990s, LISSTs have often replaced or supplemented older technologies...
In 2019 Sequoia published a short note on our website regarding the feasibility of measuring plastic particles in situ. Two main conclusions were drawn: If one considers the number concentration of plastic particles (α), and the sampling volume (SV)...
