Turbiscan™:

the reference for stability analysis

Physical stability and shelf life are key parameters in the development of concentrated liquid dispersions.

TURBISCAN™: THE CONCEPT

Turbiscan™ technology consists in measuring the Backscattering and Transmission intensities versus the sample height in order to detect particle size change (coalescence, flocculation) and phase separation (sedimentation, creaming)


STABLE

UNSTABLE: SIZE CHANGE

UNSTABLE: PHASE SEPARATION

MAIN ADVANTAGES

• Detection up to 50 times faster than the naked eye
• Identification and quantification of size and concentration changes
• Works on concentrated media :
  up to 95% v/v
• No dilution required
• Works in a wide range of sizes: from 5nm to 1 mm

Formulation of liquid dispersions (emulsion, suspension, foam) is becoming more and more complex in order to provide the best end use properties in the shortest development time.

One of the key parameters in the development of these inherently unstable products is the physical stability and shelf life.

The Turbiscan™ technology was introduced more than 15 years ago to analyse quickly and accurately the stability of concentrated dispersions such as emulsions, suspensions and foams.

Today more than 1000 R&D labs all over the world use the Turbiscan™ technology .
