We believe testing should have no limits. For over 30 years we’ve been providing the scientific community world-class tools for research and development and quality control. Our range of Texture Analysers, Materials Testers and Volume and Density Measurement instruments are internationally recognised. With over 200 precision attachments and the most comprehensive software package to ensure the validity of your test results, ours is the complete solution.

Our business is built on three key principles Innovation

Innovation is at the core of our business. We were the first to collect data at 2000 points per sec and provide the synchronised measurement of sound with an Acoustic Envelope Detector. Whether it’s new software features or a new test method or fixture, we will push the boundaries of mechanical property measurement to the limit. Finding new solutions to your testing problems is where we shine and as such we are the only instrument manufacturer in our field who holds any Community Registered Designs – testament to our desire to be at the forefront of science and pushing the boundaries to property measurement.

Education

No-one knows more about texture analysis than we do. We also know a thing or two about materials characterisation and volume and density measurement. We share our expertise through the Education Zone – our unrivalled built-in library of advice, assistance and learning material. With over 300 application studies, step-by-step tutorials, data analysis techniques and more, we have the most comprehensive support material for continued education to help you to get the most from your instrument, from your initial project interest to your future unknown testing needs.

Application

The possibilities of applying our instruments to measure the mechanical properties of your product are endless. At the outset, our experts will find a tailored solution based on your required application. Users can then access our unrivalled Application Studies library – covering a wide range of industries, these application studies demonstrate viable test methods for specific products and also act as an ideal starting point for studying similar products. Whatever your preferred application, we will help you find a tailored solution.
