Manufacture of the Mastersizer 2000 ceased in 2015 and Malvern Panalytical gave a commitment to fully support the Mastersizer 2000 for the following 7 years. Many of the electronic and hardware components used within the system are no longer manufactured by Malvern Panalytical’s suppliers. This means that, from April 2022, we will no longer be able to guarantee the availability of the spare parts required to maintain the Mastersizer 2000.

How to ensure measurement continuity
Malvern Panalytical understands that the Mastersizer 2000 forms a critical part of our customers’ business processes. Failure to upgrade to a fully supported system in a timely manner puts Measurement Continuity at risk. This may jeopardize the ability of our customers to deliver their products or services to the quality standards they require.
Thousands of users have already made the successful transition from the Mastersizer 2000 to the Mastersizer 3000, many of them working in highly regulated environments. Experience shows that in regulated environments, extra time must be factored into the process to ensure on-time migration of critical methods and satisfactory completion of the more extensive validation requirements.
It is therefore imperative that all Mastersizer 2000 users ensure measurement continuity by upgrading to the latest technology ahead of the April 2022 deadline. To do nothing or delay transition planning risks measurement interruption that may directly impact business performance. Malvern Panalytical offers a proven, supported pathway for upgrading to Mastersizer 3000 that is tailored to your industry and your requirements, easing method transfer and preserving existing data.
