Provides pressurisation of analysed samples, making it perfect for analysing liquids at temperatures above boiling, and gases in samples
Ultrasonic Scientific launches its HR-US pressurising system for use in a range of industries including biotech, pharmaceutical, food, chemical, petrochemical and polymer.
The system has an internal compressor delivering a desired pressure to each of two cells of HR-US spectrometers.
The cells can be pressurised independently or simultaneously for different measurements, and two individual pressure outlet lines allow the user to set different pressures in each cell if required.
The pressure is displayed on the front panel and is controlled by a regulator valve.
In addition, the system is supplied with a gas inlet which can be connected to an external line allowing the user to pressurise the samples with a particular type of gas if required. The HR-US pressurising system is a powerful tool for customers who need to analyse samples at pressures above one atmosphere. This makes it perfect for analysis of bubble suppression, allowing samples to be characterised by the ultrasonic spectrometer in their pure, bubble-free state.
For instance, the system can be used to analyse the formation of micelles and composition analysis in solutions of surfactants; heat-induced conformational changes in polymers; and kinetics of chemical reactions with gas producing products/reactants.
It is also able to analyse liquids with low boiling points, making it possible to monitor microstructural and molecular transformations during high-temperature sterilisation of food systems.
Solubility of gases in samples and gas bubbles in liquids can also be analysed by this new system.
Ultrasonic Scientific's HR-US range of instruments allow analysis of transparent, translucent and opaque samples, and are truly non-destructive/non invasive with broad dynamic range, record resolution and a variety of measuring regimes.
