LUMiSizer® - the complete dispersion analyzer, in every sense of the word
The LUMiSizer is an analytical centrifuge that allows you to instantansouly analyze your whole sample from top to bottom using the innovative STEP-Technology ® . Knowing the dispersion profile across your whole sample gives you an unprecedented advantage over other analytical techniques.
It allows you to capture the complete particle size distribution for your emulsion and suspension, no matter how complex or number of modalities. Measure emulsion and suspension stability directly with unsurpassed sensitivity, and more importantly, understand and differentiate between the various instability mechanisms. Predict and calculate the shelf-life of you emulsion or suspension based product. See sediment and/or creaming layers and understand their structure. Understand how your particle size distribution and stability respond to changes in manufacturing processes, temperature, concentration, emulsifiers and dispersant types, and much more.
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.
