Colloid stability analyser performs non-destructive and small sample analysis and also enables the analysis of opaque materials
Ultrasonic Scientific, innovator in high-resolution ultrasonic spectroscopy (HR-US) for material analysis, announces that it will be exhibiting its HR-US range of spectrometers at the 2005 American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) annual meeting and exposition, Nashville, Tennessee, 6-10 November 2005.
Showcased will be Ultrasonic Scientifics's new Colloid Stability Analyser.
The HR-US Colloid Stability Analyser, which made its debut at PittCon 2005, is unique in the field of sedimentation and stability measurements of emulsions and suspensions; it performs non-destructive and small sample analysis and also enables the analysis of opaque materials.
As a consequence, it addresses the analytical needs of R and D and process development scientists and QA/QC analysts in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, cosmetics, personal care and other industries.
Unlike traditional techniques, Ultrasonic Scientifics's Colloid Stability Analyser 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.
The analyser can be pressurised up to ten bars, allowing analysis of liquids with low boiling points and liquids at high temperatures (above boiling point).
The AAPS annual meeting and exposition, one of the major events in the pharmaceutical science industry, is attended by front-line scientists involved in R and D, purchasing, QA/QC, production and planning.
The show provides its visitors with the opportunity to receive immediate feedback on new products and services, close sales on the spot, schedule follow-up meetings and sales calls and learn what information and services pharmaceutical scientists need to finalise purchasing decisions.
Through its HR-US series, Ultrasonic Scientific has made commercial ultrasonic instruments available for a wide spectrum of analytical tasks in a variety of industries including biotech, pharmaceutical, food, chemical and polymer.
