Detailed Description
The Formulaction Turbiscan is the ideal instrument for ageing and shelf life testing of emulsions, suspensions, dispersions and foam. Stability results are obtained 200 times faster than the naked eye and unlike a particle size analyser no product dilution is required. The high throughput screen platform contains a storage station, a robot arm and smart software for the automatic sample handling and treatment.
The Turbiscan scans the sample at user defined time intervals and the whole sample is scanned bottom to top with reading taken every 20 um. The software generates a simple stability index/rating
from the data, and a variety of substances can be analysed, from inks, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, emulsions and suspensions. The identification of sedimentation, creaming and coalescence within a sample provides valuable information when designing novel formulations.
Specifications
• Light source 880 nm
• Detection S-MLS
• Cell volume 20 mL
• Temperature control from room temperature to 60°C
• 54 samples can be loaded at one time
