Particle Imaging System Helps the Association of Austrian Cement Industry Extend Research Capabilities
The Association of the Austrian Cement Industry (VÖZ) (Vienna, Austria), a partner organisation for the Austrian building and construction industry, is using the Morphologi G3-ID from Malvern Instruments to gain new insight in work involving the characterisation of cement and other construction materials. The Morphologi G3-ID is an advanced particle characterisation system that combines automated static imaging with chemical identification of individual particles using Raman spectroscopy. Currently at an early stage in its work, the Association is leading the way in applying the Morphologi G3- ID to the analysis of the various components of cement.
“The Morphologi G3-ID is an excellent tool for the characterisation of size and morphological form, with the added advantage of enabling chemical identification of the species present,” said Dr Ameneh Schneider at the Association of the Austrian Cement Industry. “Although we are only just beginning to explore its potential we believe that the added insight it brings will significantly enhance our research. The Morphologi G3-ID has proven straightforward and easy to use and we’ve already been successful in expanding our application of it into areas beyond construction materials, testing food samples for example. This makes the system a valuable addition to our overall contract research capability.”
The capability of the Morphologi G3-ID to analyse and characterise specific particle populations within a diverse dispersion brings new insight for conventional cement manufacture. It also has the potential to support industry objectives to successfully incorporate environmentally sustainable replacement materials, such as fly ash and blast furnace slag.
The Morphologi G3-ID measures the size, shape and chemical identity of particles using automated image analysis in combination with Raman spectroscopy. The instrument captures images of individual particles by scanning beneath the dispersion using advanced optics. Discrete particle populations can then be classified and targeted for further spectroscopic analysis. Already used within the pharmaceutical industry, the instrument is finding increased use in a range of powder processing applications, such as in the research and development of construction materials.

New Microplate Barcoding Service
Porvair Sciences has announced a new barcoding service for its complete range of 24-, 48-, 96- and 384-well microplates. High quality barcode labels can be affixed to any side of a Porvair microplate to assist in ensuring sample traceability. Porvair's barcoding services offer a non- repeatable barcode sequence to prevent label duplication.
The barcode labels have been tested for optimal readability as well as solvent resistance and prolonged exposure to temperatures ranging from -80°C to +80°C.
Flexible, customisable barcoding options include CODE 39 (3 of 9), CODE 128, 12/5, and PDF417 symbologies, with or without human-readable text and a choice of label position on the microplate. Advice on which barcode symbology is best for your application is available from Porvair's technical support team.
Porvair microplates are precisely manufactured to applicable ANSI/ SLAS dimensions to ensure complete compatibility with all readers and automated equipment.
