Discover the Turbiscan range of instruments for Stability and ageing testing of concentrated colloidal systems

The Turbiscan is being widely used for characterisation
of concentrated emulsions suspensions & foams.

• no sample dilution
• fast results
• measure sedimentation rate
• flocculation & aggregation

A Turbiscan is the ideal instrument for ageing and shelf life testing of emulsions, suspensions, dispersions and foam.

Stability results are achieved 200 times faster than the naked eye and unlike a particle size analyser, no product dilution is required.

The Turbiscan can be used to follow the stability of  many commonly used materials, including:-
• Drinks emulsion stability
• Measured dose inhaler (MDI)
• Asphaltene precipitation
Please contact us to  arrange for testing of you samples.  The stability testing service is free of charge and  we can show you  how the Turbiscan could benefit you.

HIGH-THROUGHPUT STABILITY ANALYZER
High throughput screening is more and more useful to shorten the formulations time-to-market. Turbiscan AGS integrates the Turbiscan LAB, a robot, a storage station and a smart software for automatic sample handling and treatment. This concept enables an automated management of aging tests from sample storage at different temperatures to shelf-life determination.

what can a turbiscan detect

> MIGRATION ANALYSIS
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.

TSi stability index ......

> 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!
