Multisample Analysis of Stability and Particle Size

Turbiscan^® has been used worldwide for over 25 years to detect at an early stage all kinds of destabilizations such as coalescence, flocculation, creaming, sedimentation... Emulsions, suspensions, or foams can be studied at full concentration range (up to 95%v/v) without dilution or sample preparation. Combining the SMLS technology with the knowledge in formulation science, Turbiscan® has become the solution of choice for a complete dispersion characterization (dispersibility, particle size, physical stability and redispersing).

Turbiscan^® uses Static Multiple Light Scattering (SMLS) to detect particle migration and size variation in liquid dispersions. A measurement head moves over the cell height and works with 2 synchronous detectors - Transmission (T) and Backscattering (BS) - this offers a highly sensitive and reliable analysis of transparent to opaque samples even at high concentrations. T & BS signals are related to particle size and concentration and their variation is a sign of destabilization that is occurring.
