Title: Francisco Lanza: Innovator in Continuous Sampling and Dilution Systems
Introduction
Francisco Lanza is a notable inventor based in Tampa, Florida. He has made significant contributions to the field of particle dispersion analysis through his innovative patent. His work focuses on developing systems that enhance the efficiency and accuracy of sampling and dilution processes.
Latest Patents
Lanza holds a patent for a "Continuous sampling and dilution system and method." This invention provides a system and method for the automatic sampling and dilution of homogeneous particle dispersions. It utilizes a multistep parallel dilution network system for both the sample and diluent, allowing for variable dilution capabilities. The system ensures that the sample and diluent mix uniformly over a predetermined conduit length. By resampling from the first dilution step and recombining with another diluent line, a second dilution step is achieved. The number of steps determines the dilution range, while the manipulation of flow rates allows for a variable dilution ratio at each step. An exemplary embodiment of this invention reduces the concentration of a latex sample for analysis using UV-Vis spectrometry. Additionally, it can be used to monitor the emulsion polymerization of styrene in real time through turbidity measurements taken on diluted samples.
