Atomic Spectrometry LECO introduced two elemental analyzers for applications involving metals, alloys and other inorganic samples: the CS844 for carbon/sulfur measurements and the ONH836 for measuring oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. Improvements in the combustion furnace, detector systems and cleaning automation have been combined with touch-screen control. The CS844 is priced at $65,000 and began shipment […]
Atomic Spectroscopy Bruker’s S8 Dragon wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (WD-XRF) system combines a conventional array of wavelength detectors dedicated for elements of particular interest with a multielement energy dispersive detector (the Bruker XFlash, more commonly used for energy dispersive spectrometry [EDS] microanalysis) to provide simultaneous measurement of the remaining elements. A complete run takes […]
Particle size analysis is one of a number of critical parameters that must be monitored at various stages of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. With high single-digit growth, global demand for process particle size analysis instrumentation for the pharmaceutical industry will be more than $30 million by 2012. The vendors that dominate the laboratory particle size […]
Instruments for materials characterization provide a number of analytical methods for measuring or characterizing the material properties of samples, often carried out under conditions when a secondary parameter is varied, such as temperature. In total, the global market for materials characterization instrumentation is forecast to reach $2.2 billion in 2011, representing growth of 5.4%, following […]
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is one of the most common specific techniques under the broader rubric of thermal analysis. The basic concept of thermogravimetry is relatively simple: over a period of time, the instrument measures the mass of the sample as the temperature is increased. However, many components and software tools enter into the modern TGA. […]
Company Announcements Nova Instruments, which owns Dantec Dynamics A/S, acquired Brookhaven Instruments, a provider of technology for laser light scattering, molecular weight, particle size, zeta potential and chromatography, in July. Spectris purchased Zhuhai Omec Instruments, a Chinese company that specializes in particle characterization, in July for £7 million ($11 million). In September, Micromeritics’ new Japanese […]
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), reaction calorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are the three main types of calorimetry, which passively measures changes of state or the formation of aqueous solutions. ITC currently accounts for more than a quarter of the calorimetry market. ITC initial system sales grew an estimated 11% in 2009. Its sales are […]
For certain materials and powders, porosity is a characteristic of great importance. Porosity is a measure of the voids or pores in a solid substance, and is defined as the ratio of the sample’s void volume and total volume. There are a number of ways to measure the void volume, and mercury porosimetry is one […]
Company Announcements Datacolor established an Indian subsidiary in Mumbai earlier this year. Cannon Instrument assumed exclusive representation for KEM’s (Kyoto Electronics Manufacturing) products in the US and portions of North America for applications in the petroleum, polymer and petrochemical industries. MTI Instruments acquired in March the tensile stage line of products from Ernest F. Fullam. […]
Company Announcements As part of a global strategic collaboration, Micromeritics is codistributing Surface Measurement Systems products in China. Biolin Scientific appointed Jan Wahlström, deputy CEO and COO, as CEO in March. HEL granted Particulate Systems, a Micromeritics Instrument brand, exclusive global distribution rights to its Subsieve AutoSizer in February. Particulate Systems was granted exclusive distribution […]
