LUMiFuge - Stability Analyzer
Measure emulsion and dispersion stability across your sample from top to bottom - no dilution is required. Like the human eye, the STEP-Technology instantaneously captures the optical scattering profile of your entire sample from top to bottom. The LUMiFuge allows you to measure the physicochemical stability of any dispersion without knowing anything about the product. There is no need to make any assumptions or input material constants - place the sample in the instrument and obtain stability results.
The Dispersion Stability Analyzer LUMiFuge® gives you the best of both worlds.
The LUMiFuge is the marriage of an analytical centrifuge and the STEP-Technology®.
It lets you measure stability directly and obtain results faster than other analytical methods.
Analyze the sample as-is with no dilution required. Do so at different wavelengths.
With the LUMiFuge®, you can
- Measure Emulsion Stability and Dispersion Stability Directly
- Measure all physicochemical stability phenomena (creaming, sedimentation, flocculation, aggregation, coalescence, coagulation, phase separation, phase inversion, Ostwald ripening, syneresis)
- Study sediment caking and re-dispersibility
- Work with viscous and non-Newtonian formulations
- Perform filtration and filter-fouling studies
- Obtain Hansen solubility/dispersibility parameters
- Verify magnetic strength and magnetization of particles and dispersions
- Predict and calculate shelf-life
- Carry out quick quality control tests
- Optimize formulations
- Reduce research and development time for new products
Last, analyze up to eight samples simultaneously under a wide range of temperatures.
In other words – do more in less time.
