Particle size distribution
Particle size distribution analysis is one of the services offered by Alfatestlab for the characterisation of powder, suspension and emulsion products.
Particle shape
Automatic Image Analysis Static Automated Image Analysis is the ideal technique to obtain, through high quality images on statistically representative numbers of particles, accurate information about particle shape (circularity, elongation, […]
High resolution SEM images
Real density/ Skeletal Density
Helium Picnometry uses the gas displacement to determine the volume of the sample. The density is calculated using the sample weight, measured on an analytical balance. The instrument measures the […]
Surface area and porosimetry
Samples are commonly prepared by heating them under vacuum or under a gas stream to remove impurities. The samples are then analyzed by measuring the volume of adsorbed gas, for […]
Rheology: viscosity and flow behaviour
In Alfatestlab we provide rheology testing services to support formulation, process development and quality control processes. From very low viscosity liquids up to solid materials, we can offer several properties […]
Nanosystems characterization
Alfatestlab is equipped with the following technologies: Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) for particle size measurement Multi-Angle Dynamic Light Scattering (MADLS) for size and concentration analysis Electrophoretic Light Scattering (ELS) for […]
Powder rheology
Thanks to the FT4 powder rheometer in Alfatestlab, we are able to analyse powder response when simulating different environmental conditions in order to better understand the reason for some behaviours, […]
Thermal Analysis
Temperature range: STA200RV: RT-1000°C DSC7000X: -80°C-500°C or RT-725°C Alfatestlab provides STA (TG-DTA) combined measurements on a wide variety of materials as well as DSC analysis. Thermal analysis can provide a […]
