Allows the characterization of flow properties and various flow characteristics of formulations and ingredients such as viscosity flow curves, yield stress, thixotropy, viscoelasticity. These directly influence both sensory and functional benefits of formulations-stability, spreadability, dispensability, texture/sensory, mouthfeel, drug injectability, sprayability, processing. This is critical for developing and optimizing formulations in cosmetics, homecare, coatings, foods, agro-products, pharmaceuticals.
Laser Diffraction allows particle size and particle size distribution to be measured in size range of 0.01 - 3500 µm. This insight is critical for formulation development and optimization in emulsions, suspensions used in cosmetics, foods, pharma, agro-chemicals etc. Particle size can influence colloidal stability, sensory perception, dissolution rates of actives in pharma, foods, agro-chemicals
Utilizes Dynamic Light Scattering to measure particle zine from sub nanometer to several microns. Critical for optimizing formulations which include-nanoemulsions, nanoparticles, micellar delivery vehicles, exosomes. Also through electriphoretic light scattering can characterize particle charge, critical for colloidal stability analysis. Relavant for formulation development and optimization for biopharmaceuticals, biotechnology formulations, cosmetics, foods.
Allows full characterization of contact angle, drop shape analysis, dynamic surface/interfacial tension, dilatational surface/interface rheology. This is critical to understand surface activity and surface behavior of formulation ingredients at air-water, oil-water interfaces. This is critical to allow choice of formulation ingredients to optimize customer experiances of foaming, cleaning, stability etc. Relevant for formulation optimization in cosmetics, homecare including laundry detergents, pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, foods, agro-products, coatings.
DWS allows characterization of the dynamics/mean squared displacement and rheology in dense and turbid formulations such as emulsions, surfactant and polymers gels, hydrogels, protein formulations etc. Can be utilized as sensitive technique to predict stability, changes in microstructure associated with changes in formulation conditions or relase of drugs and actives from micellar or other drug delivery vehicles. Relevant for formulation development in pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceutics, foods, cosmrtics.
This is a highly efficient dual-centrifuge technique to allow development of suspensions, nan suspensions, emulsions, nanoemulsions with controlled particle size relavant for formulation development across pharmaceuticals (API nanoformulations design), biopharmaceuticals, agrochemicals. etc
