There is nothing like letting our chemists test your own samples to find out what a Turbiscan Lab from Formulaction is capable of and how it can really help you to speed up formulation development, assess shelf life or make quality control measurements.   

Contact us at Fullbrook Systems and ask us to test some samples for free on: 01442 876 777 or email: sales@fullbrook.com.

In addition we have a wide range of application notes from across many different industries. Please take a look at the papers below, and let us know which ones are of interest so we can email them to you.

How does a Turbiscan Lab work?

The Turbiscan Lab carries the following benefits:

• Sample scanned at user defined timed intervals
• Whole sample scanned bottom to top
• No sample dilution
• Readings taken every 20µm
• Simple stability index / rating
• Detailed stability data as required
• Results 40 times quicker than the naked eye.

Almost anything can be tested with this popular piece of equipment, from ink to cosmetics to pharmaceuticals, as well as emulsions, suspensions and foams.

What can a Turbiscan Lab detect?

Migration Anaylsis

Local variation of light intensity corresponds to phases formation.

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

Turbiscan Stability Index

Turbiscan Stability Index is a one-click parameter to easily rank the stability of many samples in a kinetic way or in a data table. 

The higher the TSI is, the less stable the product is.

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!
