History
Since the very beginning Formulaction offers innovative solutions to formulation labs all over the world for stability and microrheology analysis.
1998
Launching of the Turbiscan™ ONLINE, instrument dedicated to process monitoring of dispersions in real time.
1997
Awards for the Turbiscan™ MA2000 at the International Exhibition & Conferences
for Instrumentation PITTCON, New Orleans (USA)
1995
Innovation Awards for the Turbiscan™ concept analysis granted by the French
technical magazine « L’Usine Nouvelle ».
July 1994
Gérard Meunier creates the company Formulaction SA and launches the Turbiscan™ MA1000, a revolutionary instrument based on multiple light scattering
principle in static mode for stability analysis of concentrate dispersions (emulsions, suspensions, foams).
1992-1994
Gérard Meunier develops a new concept of stability analysis of dispersions
and registers on May 17, 1994, a patent entitled “Method and apparatus
for analyzing the phases of a multi-phase mixture ». This is the first
method which enables the measurement of opaque dispersions (emulsions, suspensions,
foams), thanks to a backscattering detection system .
October 1983
Professor Bothorel (Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal, Bordeaux, CNRS) registers
a patent about a new way to characterize phases diagrams. This is the first
step in the development of a vertical scanner using the transmission to analyse
the whole length of a sample.
2009
Launching of a new range of instruments for microrheology (Rheolaser™) based
on multiple light scattering in dynamic mode (MS-DWS).
2008
Foundation of Formulaction Inc, American subsidiary of Formulaction, based
in Philadelphia.
2007
Formulaction celebrates the 1000th Turbiscan™ sale and consolidates its leader
position on the worldwide market of stability of concentrated dispersions.
2006
Launching of Horus™, the first commercial instrument based on optical Multi-Speckle-Diffusing
Wave Spectroscopy, to analyse film formation (drying, curing).
2003
Launching of the Turbiscan™ AGS, multi-samples station for high throughput
stability analysis of dispersions.
2001
launching of the Turbiscan™ LAB, a new generation of instruments with high
performances which dramatically increased the number of users in the world.
2000
26 distributors and agents commercialise the Turbiscan all over the world.
1999
Awards for the Turbiscan™ ONLINE at the International Exhibition & Conferences
for Instrumentation PITTCON, Orlando (USA).
