Research into the fluid dynamics of fine particulate materials at the department of chemical engineering at Imperial College London is set to benefit from a customised laboratory reactor system from Asynt. With a bespoke glass reactor vessel, ReactoMate Datum support…
The growing popularity of tattoos, especially among young adults, raises concerns about the composition of tattoo inks and any potential long-term health effects they present. The European Commission Joint Research Centre recently noted that about 12 percent of Europeans have…
MATERIALS characterisation instrument maker Malvern Instruments has opened a new applications and demonstration laboratory in Sao Paolo, Brazil. The new laboratory, located within the existing premises of its parent company Spectris, provides support to customers and joins the group’s other…
MALVERN Instruments has published a new application note which discusses the importance of particle size in heterogeneous catalyst materials, concluding that the company’s Mastersizer 3000 particle size analyser can be useful in achieving optimum reactivity. The Mastersizer 3000 accurately determines…
A RESEARCH project which seeks alternatives to rare earths is the first application of Malvern Instruments’s latest particle characterisation instrument, the Zetasizer Nano ZSP. The laboratory of Dr Kikuo Okuyama at the department of chemical engineering at Hiroshima is conducting…
BEFORE using nanoparticle tracking analysis with the Nanosight LM-10, oncology researchers at the Department of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell University, USA, measured exosome size by the only other available method – electron microscopy. In research recently published in Nature Medicine,…
MALVERN Instruments has used a live webinar to complete the global roll-out of its Morphologi G3-ID particle characterisation system. This online tutorial described the capabilities of the G3-ID, which combines automated particle imaging with the chemical identification of individual particles…
THE RECENT introduction of advanced energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) systems by Bruker has equipped the Hitachi TM3000 tabletop microscope to work alongside a Bruker Quantax 200 to perform fully automated particle analysis. In particular, two modules of Bruker’s Esprit software – the…
THE LATEST enhancement to NanoSight’s Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) is the ability to include a syringe pump in the system. The syringe pump enables a larger number of sample particles to be detected and tracked, giving a more representative sample…
THE PUBLICATION by the American Society of Testing Materials of its new guide new nanomaterial measurement – ASTM E2834 – has been welcomed by Nanosight. The ‘standard guide for measurement of particle size distribution of nanomaterials in suspension by nanoparticle…
