DESCRIPTION

Instrument for evaluating the physical stability of concentrated dispersions (emulsions, suspensions, foams, and colloidal systems). Uses Multiple Light Scattering (MLS) to detect instability without sample dilution, through rapid, non-destructive analyses.

MAIN FEATURES

• Light source: near-infrared LED (wavelength = 850 nm)
• Detection: transmission (180°) and backscattering (45°)
• Automatic or manual scanning; resolution: every 40 µm up to 80 mm height
• Modes: single scan or automated sequential measurement
• Operating temperature: 10-40 °C; self-calibration for drift correction

MAIN APPLICATIONS

• Stability evaluation of emulsions, suspensions, foams, and colloids
• Detection of sedimentation, creaming, flocculation, coalescence, and foam aging
• Research, development, and quality control of formulated products
