Rheometers alongside particle characterisation systems for the first time on the Malvern stand, following the company's acquisition of Bohlin in 2003
This year's Analytica (11-14 May 2004, New Munich Trade Fair Centre, Germany) will be the first at which Malvern Instruments will exhibit the company's range of rheometers alongside its latest particle characterisation systems.
This follows Malvern's acquisition of Bohlin Instruments in October 2003. The modular Gemini rheometer system, with new solids clamping apparatus, will be displayed together with Bohlin capillary rheometers.
Malvern's Mastersizer 2000 laser diffraction-based particle size analyser will be a major focus for anyone involved in particle characterisation.
With a measurement range from 0.02 to 2000 micron, extensive sample dispersion capabilities and the ability to change between wet or dry measurement modes with complete ease, the Mastersizer 2000 has become the system of choice in many industries.
SOP-driven operation and complete transferability of methods mean that it meets industry's growing need for global comparability of results, traceability, regulatory compliance, and efficiency in the laboratory.
Introduced last year, the Zetasizer Nano ZS combines the most advanced technologies for zeta potential, particle size and molecular weight measurement of molecules and nano-sized particles, in a single compact and exceptionally easy to use instrument.
Using the world's first disposable zeta potential capillary cell, the Zetasizer Nano ZS eliminates cell cleaning, and with it the risk of sample cross contamination.
The particle size of materials that are small, dilute and poorly scattering can be measured, as well as the size of high concentration suspensions and emulsions, with sample volumes as low as 12 microlitres.
Malvern's Vision Systems will also be on display.
The PharmaVision-830 delivers reliable, repeatable particle size and shape analysis for all industry sectors.
An automated technique, it brings together the precision and sensitivity of a microscope with the statistical significance previously available only with ensemble characterization techniques.
Malvern's experts will be available throughout the show to discuss individual particle characterization and rheology issues.
Malvern is on stand number A3 375 at Analytica 2004.
