The instrument can collect up to 1000 data points and fine details of the isotherm can be observed and recorded.
Sensors in chocolate paradise
02 October, 2015 by Dr Detlef Zienert | Supplied by: Balluff Pty LtdCapacitive sensors are a fine thing in and of themselves: they can detect levels of liquids, powders and granular materials through nonmetallic container walls without the sensor coming into contact with the media. However, conventional capacitive sensors also have a number of disadvantages.
Malvern Instruments Archimedes particle metrology system
01 October, 2015 | Supplied by: ATA Scientific Pty LtdArchimedes, from Malvern Instruments, is a benchtop instrument that measures particle mass, concentration and size, from a few microns down to approximately 50 nm, by means of resonant mass measurement (RMM) — a technique that enables the analysis of protein formulations below the range accessible by optical methods.
