Thanks to its flexibility and high-efficiency potential, AM can bring significant advantages to manufacturers in a wide range of industries.

The primary goal when employing gel permeation / size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) is often to determine the molecular weight of a macromolecular sample.  Multi-detector systems, such as Malvern Panalytical’s OMNISEC and TDAmax systems, are able to offer a range of…READ MORE >

You’ve done the hard parts to get your GPC/SEC instrument ready: prepared the mobile phase, stabilized the detector baselines, and prepared your sample.  After injection and completion of your sample sequence, you have acquired data.  Congrats!  Now, before you even…READ MORE >

How can I use DLS for sample xyz? What is the best sample concentration / refractive index for reliable DLS size measurements? Has it been done before? In Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) we analyze intensity fluctuations in the sample to…READ MORE >

When working with a couple of our Morphologi G3-ID cement customers I have come to realize that cement is an incredibly complex product. Working with one of our customers in the cement industry we wrote an article, published last year…READ MORE >

The Zetasizer has some optional advanced protein features that you may not be aware of: DLS Debye Plot: a dynamic Debye plot of the measured hydrodynamic size as a function of sample concentration to obtain the dynamic Virial coefficient (also known…READ MORE >

As a product technical specialist I get to see many applications and customers. Something that has regularly come up is the problem of measuring fibers by image analysis. Caliper based length and width measurements of fibers do not always give…READ MORE >

Thinking back to those early design meetings that the development team here at Malvern Panalytical undertook at the inception of the Kinexus rheometer project, one of our key aims was to deliver a new rheometer platform that enabled total flexibility…READ MORE >

If you take a listen to the theme tune for the 1958 B-movie classic ‘The Blob’, you’ll hear a song that sounds bizarrely cheerful and frivolously upbeat, for a film that has probably been the cause of recurring night terrors…READ MORE >
