A customer success story This story is about a customer that owns many laboratories to conduct precise and accurate analytical testing of all kinds of geological samples. He decided to move to automated fusion to better support production volume, reduce…READ MORE >

In my last blog, we covered: Why does sample concentration matter? How will it affect results? What is the right concentration range to be measured? Here, we will continue the discussion on: 4. How to prepare and control the sample…READ MORE >

“We need to characterize particle size distribution quickly and statically. The estimated size range falls into that covered by laser diffraction. Now what?” Now – sample preparation: Can we actually prepare the samples to be measured properly? When it comes…READ MORE >

In the metal industry, the sample preparation of some samples can be challenging. An inappropriate sample preparation method can lead to inconsistent analytical results and even render the samples impossible to analyze. Take for example copper or zinc concentrate samples…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 >

Randy Byrne, Malvern Instruments’ VP for Commercial Development, has formulated this excellent (not a trick-) question: “Which has the higher viscosity at room temperature – mayonnaise or honey? (Randy claims no originality for this question!)  We’ll return to this later……  Now, one factor…READ MORE >
