Colloid stability of emulsions and suspensions
Colloid stability of emulsions and suspensions
Keywords: Spectroscopy, Colloids
Ultrasonic Scientific, a specialist in high-resolution ultrasonic spectroscopy (HR-US), showcased its colloid stability analyser at the Eastern Analytical Symposium 2005. The company says the device brings the unique benefits of ultrasound to the field of sedimentation stability. Described as perfect for use in research and development, process development and QA/QC, the HR-US colloid stability analyser can analyse emulsions and suspensions at pressures up to 10bar.
This new technology has application in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, cosmetics, personal care and other industries.
The colloid stability analyser provides the following benefits:
- •
small sample size analysis;
- •
analysis of opaque materials;
- •
data processing algorithms; and
- •
non-destructive analysis.
The ultrasonic instrument provides precise quantitative measurements and is perfect for analysis of liquids with low boiling points or high temperatures (above boiling point) as the instrument can be pressurised up to 10bar.
Information can be attained on average particle size, particle concentration and rate of sedimentation/creaming and assessing degree of flocculation/ aggregation in suspensions.
The annual Eastern Analytical Symposium and Exposition is a four day international event on Analytical Chemistry and allied sciences.
Professional scientists and students can attend presentations on papers, workshops and short courses in addition to the exposition of apparatus and supplies allied to these sciences.
The Eastern Analytical Symposium was held 14-17 November 2005 at the Garden State Convention Centre in Somerset, New Jersey.
Ultrasonic Scientific says its HR-US range of spectrometers offer the ultimate in ultrasonic analysis, with the ability to analyse (non-destructively) transparent, translucent and opaque samples with broad dynamic range, record resolution and variety of measuring regimes.
