Stability analyzer for emulsions, suspensions, and foams
Accurately detect and quantify changes in dispersibility and stability of complex fluids with high-speed light scattering analysis, ensuring optimal formulation and early detection of stability issues, crucial for maintaining product consistency and quality in demanding processing environments.
Analyzes Dispersibility and Stability of Complex Samples
The TURBISCAN DNS from Microtrac is a cutting-edge multi-sample analyzer that specializes in measuring the dispersibility and stability of emulsions, suspensions, and foams. Utilizing Static Multiple Light Scattering (SMLS), it accurately detects and quantifies changes in the samples’ physical properties, making it indispensable for industries including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food and beverage. Capable of conducting up to 10 measurements per second, it offers rapid destabilization detection—up to 1,000 times faster than visual methods. The system integrates either into continuous processes via the TLOOP module or uses TMIX-equipped vials for in-situ mixing analysis. Accommodating temperatures up to 60°C, it operates with native samples without dilution, thus preserving sample integrity. Its compact bench-top design is CE certified and adheres to ISO standards, ensuring reliable data for R&D and production refinement. The TURBISCAN DNS is complemented by TURBISOFT software for intuitive data handling and comprehensive analysis, facilitating rapid and robust stability comparisons. Configurable options such as on-demand vials and additional mixing modules enhance its versatility, catering to specific sample requirements and operational conditions.
