LUMiFuge® - the only stability analyzer that lets you understand the present and predict the future

The LUMiFuge allows you to directly measure the stability of your emulsion and suspension across your whole sample from top to bottom. Do so for a wide range of temperatures, viscosities, and sample concentrations of up to 90% by volume. Knowing the dispersion and stability profile across your whole sample gives you an unprecedented advantage over other analytical techniques.

Why wait months or years to determine the shelf-life of your emulsion or suspension? With the LUMiFuge you can accurately calculate and predict the years of shelf-life stability for your emulsion and suspension within days. Eight samples at a time. In addition to measuring stability with unsurpassed sensitivity, the LUMiFuge let's you understand what instability mechanism you have, so you can find a solution. Save time, save money. Optimize your product formulation process by quickly and easily testing the effects of homogenization, temperature, concentration, emulsifiers and dispersant types, on your emulsion and suspension. All possible with the unique STEP-Technology ® .

And all this in a very user-friendly package: one instrument and unmatched customer support. Just fill a disposable vial with your sample, place it in the instrument, and press the Start button. As easy as 1,2,3.

In short, we don't just give you numbers, we give you knowledge, we give you answers.
