In response to changes in the ownership structure of the company and the successful expansion of its business operation MEP Instruments will change it’s name to Metrohm Australia and Metrohm New Zealand. As per January 1st, 2018 the distributor of leading analytical technology solutions will be operating under the name...Read More
Pharmaceutical dry granulation Pharmaceutical granules are, from a technical point of view, agglomerates that usually consist of a mixture of a medicinal agent and various excipients. The granules can be prepared by different methods. One of these is dry granulation, a simple and rapid method. Mixtures of powders containing the...Read More
Safety is high priority for all workplaces. Ongoing repetitive work must be minimised wherever possible. RSI and arthritis can be avoided with automation. No need for laboratory staff to waste time grinding tablets and pills. The Mortar Grinder RM 200 can mix and homogenize solids, including powders, suspensions and pastes....Read More
Biological samples exist in all shapes and sizes: hard bones, tough and fibrous plants, tough and viscous sputum, soft muscles, tumor or liver tissue. Not to mention the millions of cells such as yeast, bacteria or algae, which have to be disrupted for applications such as DNA or RNA isolation...Read More
Particle size and shape analysis of espresso powder and other foodstuffs such as baby formulas Different types of coffee require different fineness: Espresso powder for example is much finer (d50~250μm) than coffee powder used to prepare filtered coffee (d50~500μm). By detecting the real image of individual particles, the result can...Read More
Quality control of catalysts with the Camsizer P4 from Retsch Technology The analysis of size and shape plays an important role for the quality control of catalysts. Sieve analysis is often used for this, however, it only provides the required size information for spherical particles. Rods, for example, pass the mesh with a particular orientation which makes...Read More
Particle characterisation by Dynamic Image Analysis (DIA) has become increasingly popular in recent years. This technique delivers very accurate particle size distributions in a very short time, is virtually maintenance-free and, unlike other methods like sieve analysis or laser diffraction, provides particle shape information. The CAMSIZER X2 is the latest...Read More
The complete homogenisation of fibrous food samples is a difficult task as fibres can pass the apertures of the bottom sieve in vertical orientation. A good tool for fibrous food samples: Retsch V rotor The use of the Retsch V rotor with the SM 300 significantly improves the homogenisation of fibrous materials....Read More
Modern analytical methods increase precision and push detection limits to make even the smallest traces of sample components detectable. Despite this development sample preparation, which is carried out prior to the actual analysis, is frequently neglected.

Size and shape parameters - P4 now available as online version! The CAMSIZER P4 particle analyser is now available as an online version for the continuous monitoring of critical production processes. The instrument reliably analyses all size and shape parameters of a great variety of bulk materials and granulates including...Read More
The diversity of foodstuffs with their often very different product properties represents a real challenge for food testing laboratories. Before the actual analysis, the sample materials – which can vary strongly with regards to hardness and moisture – need to be homogenized and reduced to a sufficiently small particle size....Read More
