ULTRASONIC SCIENTIFIC UNVEILS NEW FREE-OF-CHARGE BROCHURE ABOUT UNIQUE COLLOID STABILITY ANALYZER
7 Feb 2006Ultrasonic Scientific Ltd., innovator in High-Resolution Ultrasonic Spectroscopy (HR-US) for material analysis, has produced a new brochure detailing its recently launched ground breaking instrument, the HR-US Colloid Stability Analyzer.
The brochure provides a comprehensive overview of the technical characteristics and analytical capabilities of the new Colloid Stability Analyzer, highlighting the instrument’s value for R&D and process development scientists and QA/QC analysts in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, cosmetics, personal care and other industries.
The new Colloid Stability Analyzer is the first of its kind for sedimentation and stability measurements. It can analyze emulsions and suspensions while also having the ability to perform non-destructive and small sample analysis. In addition, the HR-US instrument enables the analysis of opaque materials. This unique analyzer can be pressurized up to 10 bars, allowing analysis of liquids with low boiling points and liquids at high temperatures (above boiling point).
The all-inclusive brochure is also enhanced with general information on HR-US and its applications. In addition, the new brochure illustrates an application – Aggregation/Sedimentation of Solid Polymeric Particles – to further demonstrate the reliability and practicality of Ultrasonic Scientific’s Colloid Stability Analyzer. Experimental results show that unlike traditional techniques, the Colloid Stability Analyzer provides precise quantitative measurements, allowing accurate information to be gathered on average particle size, particle concentration and rate of sedimentation/creaming and assessing degree of flocculation/aggregation in suspensions.
Ultrasonic spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique that is based on precision measurements of parameters of high-frequency sound waves propagating through analyzed samples. These waves propagate through most materials including opaque samples (down to a volume of 0.03mL) and allow direct probing of intermolecular forces.
