I want to measure...

An extensive portfolio of technologies and products enable Malvern Instruments to confidently serve all areas of manufacturing industry. The application expertise accumulated since the company's foundation is accessible to all customers and represents more than 30 years practical experience in the field and in our own laboratories.

I want to measure:

	Particle size The stability, chemical reactivity, opacity, flowability and material strength of many materials are affected by the size and characteristics of the particles within them. Getting things right at every stage of production, from R & D through to manufacture and quality control of the finished product is vital.
	Particle shape Image analysis is a technology which is particularly suited to analyzing particle size and particle shape as it generates data by capturing direct images of each particle.
	Zeta potential Zeta potential is a measure of the magnitude of the repulsion or attraction between particles. Its measurement brings detailed insight into the dispersion mechanism and is the key to electrostatic dispersion control.
	Dispersion stability When a new product is formulated, one of the biggest consumers of time is the measurement of the stability of the candidate formulations in a variety of conditions. Knowledge of dispersion stability is an extremely important parameter across a wide range of industries.
	NIR Chemical Imaging Chemical imaging is an exciting new analytical approach that enables the quantitative and spatial identification of chemical species in a sample. In very simple terms it can be considered as a chemical map.
	Molecular weight The molecular weight of biological materials and polymers can be determined from both static light scattering and dynamic light scattering experiments using the Zetasizer Nano.
	Biomolecular Structure and Function The functional activity of proteins, and other biomolecules, is directly linked to their structure. Biophysical methods have traditionally provided dislocated measurement of either function or structure without being able to connect the two directly. Dual Polarization Interferometry (DPI), the core technology of the AnaLight instrument range, is an optical technique that combines measurement of both structure and function in one data set, at sub-molecular levels of resolution and in real time.
	Surface science and interfacial studies The interfacial behavior of thin molecular films and nanosurfaces is a direct consequence of changes in their structure. Dual Polarization Interferometry (DPI), the core technology of the AnaLight instrument range, is an optical technique used to understand the real-time structure and behavior of thin films and nanosurfaces through quantitative measurement at sub-nanometer resolution.
	Rheological properties The measurement of rheological properties can help to develop a better product, predict its end use performance with customers and predict the physical properties of a product during and after processing.
