Ultrasonic Scientific will be attending three European conferences in September 2003, delivering presentations and making demonstrations of its ultrasonic spectroscopy technology
Ultrasonic Scientific will be attending three conferences in September 2003: the 33rd annual Food Science and Technology research conference, 11-12 September, University of Cork, Ireland; the first annual European Rheology conference, 11-13 September, University of Minho, Portugal; and the 17th European Colloid and Interface Science Society conference, 21-26 September, Florence, Italy.
Katy Dwyer, product specialist from Ultrasonic Scientific will be giving a presentation on high-resolution ultrasonic spectroscopy for the analysis of food colloids at the 33rd Annual FS and T Research Conference.
The presentation, which is scheduled to take place at 12pm on Friday 12 September (session 11), will explain the benefits of the ultrasonic technique for colloid analysis and how it overcomes the limitations of traditional analytical techniques (DSC, light scattering, mass spectroscopy, chromatography etc).
In addition, the HR-US 102 high-resolution ultrasonic spectrometer will be demonstrated by Mike Muchaly of Ultrasonic Scientific at both AERC and ECIS table-top exhibitions.
AERC, which is aimed at European national societies and groups devoted to rheology, and ECIS, a conference for experts in all fields of colloid and interface science, is the perfect forum for demonstrating how this innovative ultrasonic instrument can be used for analysing a wide range of liquid systems, from dilute solutions to concentrated emulsion, says Ultrasonic Scientific.
The HR-US 102 offers fast and easy high-resolution analysis of small sample volumes, regardless of whether the sample is transparent, translucent or opaque.
It is a truly non-destructive/non invasive technique which can be used to monitor processes such as molecular structural changes, thermal transitions, chemical reactions, aggregation formation, crystallisation etc The digitally controlled stirring system also allows for titrations to be carried out to monitor binding reactions or concentration dependence.
The HR-US 102 is used by rhelogists and colloid scientists in a range of industries including food, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, personal care, cosmetics and polymer.
