What is the Multiscan MS20?

The MultiScan MS 20 is the measuring device for the automatic optical stability and aging analysis of liquid dispersions, in particular suspensions and emulsions, and the comprehensive characterisation of time- and temperature-dependent destabilisation mechanisms. It consists of a base unit and up to six connected ScanTowers with temperature-controlled sample chambers.

The base unit of the MS 20 features an integrated touch screen that displays status information and can be used to control important base functions. Additionally it is possible to register the studied samples, fast and conveniently, with the built-in or optional handheld barcode scanner.

The ScanTowers of the MS 20 can be individually controlled and operated at different temperatures. Electric heating, with liquid counter cooling, allows for measurements in a temperature range of -10 °C to 80 °C.

How does the Multiscan MS20 work?

• Sample scanned at user defined timed intervals
• Whole sample scanned bottom to top
• No sample dilution
• Readings taken from every 5µm
• Simple stability index / rating
• Detailed stability data as required
• Results 40 times quicker than the naked eye

​Test anything from ink to cosmetics to pharmaceuticals, as well as emulsions, suspensions and foams.

What can the Multiscan MS20 measure?

Migration Analysis

Local variation of light intensity corresponds to phases formation.

• Phase thickness kinetics
• Sedimentation rate
• Creaming rate
• Particles migration speed
• Hydrodynamic diameter

Size Variation Analysis

Global variation of light intensity corresponds to size increase.

• Size kinetics 
• Mean diameter 
  
• Agglomeration rate
• Coalescence rate
• Dispersibility ratio 

No Mechanical Stress

When it comes to shelf-life, and real-life evolution of the end-products, it makes no sense to apply a mechanical stress to a sample.

Our measurements are always performed at rest, without any external stress.

That way, you can be sure that the results you get are representative of what will happen in real life, only detected way earlier!
