Malvern launches new products

Article Type: New products From: Industrial Lubrication and Tribology, Volume 61, Issue 5

Malvern Instruments has announced the launch of new products including gel permeation chromatography (GPC) systems (Figure 1). The company provides a range of particle analysis and rheological instrumentation that delivers inter-related measurements reflecting the complexities of particulates and disperse systems, nanomaterials and macromolecules. Malvern has a growing portfolio of patented particle analysis technologies, and the company’s in-depth industry applications knowledge enables customers to achieve their competitive advantage. Analytical instrumentation from Malvern are used in the characterization of a wide variety of materials, from industrial bulk powders to the latest nanomaterials and delicate macromolecules.

Kinexus

Malvern’s Kinexus is a revolutionary new rotational rheometer platform. It incorporates technological innovations in the most critical areas of rheometer design, from sample preparation and loading, through measurement set-up and operation, to data analysis and reporting. Adaptive intelligence allows Kinexus to actively guide users at every stage.

Zetasizer range

A new dynamic light scattering system, the Zetasizer APS automates size measurements of samples in 96- or 384-well microplates. Designed primarily for protein specialists, the system is fully automated, simply requiring users to insert the plate and press start. It allows quick and easy investigation of a protein’s condition at different stages of the purification process, and at later stages of formulation under a range of environmental conditions.

Zetasizer μV

The Zetasizer μV is an advanced light scattering system specifically intended for the characterization of proteins and other biomolecules. Requiring just 2 μl of sample, it enables measurement of as little as 40 nanograms of bovine serum albumin for example – an industry leading specification. This dedicated system supports improved understanding and management of a wide range of biomolecule applications.

Morphologi G3 – foreign particulate matter

A new capability for the award-winning Morphologi G3 particle characterization system enables the fully automated detection, enumeration and size classification of foreign particulate matter collected on a filter. Traditionally this has been the preserve of manual light microscopy. Now the Morphologi G3 brings fully automated image analysis to accelerate characterization and remove any operator subjectivity.

Sophisticated GPC/SEC

The new photodiode array (PDA) detector for the TDAmax™ GPC/size exclusion chromatography system from Viscotek, provides a powerful and flexible tool for the rapid analysis of both polymers and biopolymers. The PDA is ideal for the analysis of blends used to produce high performance polymers, and the product streams from complex copolymerisation reactions. Its many applications in the life sciences include identifying protein conjugates and complexes, aggregation and stability, and determining concentration ratios.
