Particle size distribution analysis is one of the services offered by Alfatestlab for the characterisation of powder, suspension and emulsion products. Accurate particle size distribution over a representative number of particles is a key quality parameter for a variety of products in many industries.
The analysis of particle morphology is one of the services offered by Alfatestlab for the characterization of powders and liquid suspensions. In addition to particle size distribution, particle shape and agglomerates analysis deliver fundamental information for both R&D and troubleshooting of industrial processes.
In AlfatestLab we are equipped with a Microfluidizer, for the high-pressure homogenization of dispersions. This unique technology that ensures scale-up * allows for the reduction of particle size or emulsion droplets, the disaggregation, the encapsulation of active ingredients, the formation of SUV or liposomes from MLV, and therefore the lab-scale production of nano – stable dispersions. Contact us to process your samples in AlfatestLab, including pre and post process granulometric analysis in the service.
Liquid dispersions, suspensions and emulsions, are encountered in a wide range of industry including Food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care, paint, ceramics, speciality chemicals…. Stability is a key parameter that will impact processing, performance, appearance, texture, storage condition and shelf life of the final product.
Alfatestlab provides scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images including elemental analysis EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis) when required. SEM images and EDX analysis provide fundamental information with a resolution down to 10nm.
Alfatestlab provides real density analysis of solids, powders and slurries using helium picnometry. Density is an important physical characteristic of materials. It is defined as the relationship between the mass of an object and its volume. Density indicates the amount of a material that occupies a defined volume at a certain temperature.
Alfatestlab provides BET specific surface area, as well as pores dimensional distribution and volume analysis of solids and powders with gas physisorption techniques. Surface area and porosity are physical properties that influence the quality and behaviour of porous materials: materials with identical weight and volume but different specific surface area may differ in terms of surface activity and adsorption volume.
In Alfatestlab we are experts in rheological characterization. We can support you to study the viscosity and viscoelastic properties of a wide range of fluids, semi-solid materials and dispersions: gels and hydrogels, body creams, toothpastes, oils, paints, inks, polymeric dispersions, bitumen, plastic materials, mayonnaises, jams, honey, etc.
In Alfatestlab we are experts in nano-systems characterization. Particle size, particle concentration and charge are of fundamental importance to assess nano-systems suitability for the intended application.
Alfatestlab provides a complete characterization of powder behaviour thanks to the use of the unique FT4 Powder Rheometer®. The characteristics of a powder are of fundamental importance in the good performances of innumerable industrial processes and in the performance of many products.
