36 Expanded Portfolio of Analytical Instrumentation on Show at Analytica 2014
Malvern Instruments growing range of analytical instrumentation now includes extended solutions for characterisation at the nanoscale and an expanded portfolio for those working in preformulation and formulation development in the biopharmaceuticals sector. At Analytica 2014, in Hall A1, Stand 227, Malvern demonstrated how using complementary technologies to address analytical challenges, across many different industry sectors and applications, delivers the detailed information and understanding required to engineer effi cient processes and high quality products.
Malvern recently announced an exclusive global distribution agreement with Rheosense Inc to promote, market sell and support the VROC product range into industrial markets. The m-VROCi, a new microfl uidic Viscometer/Rheometer On a Chip, was on the Malvern stand for fi rst time in Europe at Analytica.
Malvern’s acquisition of NanoSight in 2013 means that NanoSight Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) systems were also exhibited on the Malvern stand at Analytica for the fi rst time. Together with the established Zetasizer and Viscotek GPC/SEC systems, and the new Archimedes and Viscosizer 200 instruments, the NanoSight NTA range further strengthens Malvern’s offering of orthogonal technologies for characterisation at the nanoscale. The result is a toolbox of complementary systems that support today’s diverse characterisation needs, from nanoparticles to proteins and beyond.
Visitors to the Malvern stand can also learn about the complementarity of Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction particle size analysis and Morphologi G3-ID image analysis based particle characterisation and chemical identifi cation, for the elucidation of complex materials such as pharmaceutical blends.
Rheology and viscometry solutions support many aspects of materials understanding and Malvern will show the Kinexus rotational rheometer, and the new Viscosizer 200, whose high throughput analysis of small volume samples is proving highly suitable for viscosity screening at the all important pre-formulation stage of developing large molecule drugs.
The new Viscotek SEC-MALS 20 detector is the latest addition to Malvern’s range of GPC/SEC products. Viscotek gel permeation/size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) systems measure absolute molecular weight, mass, size, concentration and the molecular structure of proteins, polymers and other macromolecules.

New Fibre Remote Nano-Particle Size Analyser for High Accuracy In Situ Measurements and Process Monitoring
Air Displacement Pipettor Option now Available for Popular Robot
Tecan (Switzerland) has introduced a Cavro ADP (Air Displacement Pipettor) module for the popular Cavro Omni Robot. Available with a broad choice of lengths, orientations and options for all three axes, the Cavro Omni Robot is designed to combine precision OEM liquid handling with straightforward integration, and the launch of the Cavro ADP option provides even greater fl exibility in instrument design.
The Cavro ADP provides an alternative to the existing liquid displacement pipetting for any application using the Cavro Omni Robot. Using pneumatic technology, this compact pipetting module has been integrated and optimised for use with the Cavro Omni Robot’s Universal Z arm, offering a number of additional benefi ts for OEM liquid handling. Its validated, maintenance-free design simplifi es system integration, with onboard pressure-–based liquid level detection (pLLD) and diagnostics to monitor correct operation. Together with the Cavro Omni Robot’s standard capacitive liquid level detection (cLLD), these functions provide exceptional pipetting performance and enhanced process security. As a self-contained, fully programmable pipetting option, the Cavro ADP is ideally suited to applications where access is restricted, and the module’s integrated tip ejection option makes it possible for the Cavro Omni Robot to perform fully automated tip re-racking for the fi rst time. The availability of this fl exible pipetting module further extends the versatility of the Cavro Omni Robot and, together with the system’s extensive choice of options and fi nishes, provides exceptional fl exibility for OEM liquid handling applications.

Cordouan Technologies is pleased to announce the release of the VASCO FlexTM
. Based on patented and fi eld proven
technologies, VASCO Flex is a fully versatile and fl exible particle size analyser which integrates advanced single mode optical fi bre arrangements to bring in clever and unique ways particle size measurements to your process. The fl exibility of the optical fi bre design allows proposing various measurement confi gurations tailored to your applications to better fi t your constraints. Currently VASCO Flex is proposed with three different off the shelve probe options: a standalone tri axis bench set up for measurements at 90° on standard cuvette cell; an optical fi bre remote probe head for in situ and non contact measurements; a small foot print fi bre remote cell with the patented dual thickness controller (DTC) system as in a standard VASCO system for measurements in limited access and/or confi ned environments.
In combination with the NanoQTM proprietary software,
VASCO Flex is designed to be robust, accurate, easy to implement and operate, allowing the user to address a large range of measurement confi gurations and of applications, such as: combined and simultaneous SAXS and DLS measurement systems for NP synthesis and growth process monitoring inside a glass capillary; in situ emulsion synthesis monitoring in high-pressure high-temperature autoclave/ reactor (ex supercritical CO2
in situ characterisation of ultrafi ne bubbles (micron and sub-micron size) for generation process control and stability analysis; measurement in controlled and/or limited access environment conditions; in situ measurement of Ferro Fluid NP size kinetics under high magnetic fi eld conditions.
The VASCO FlexTM system has been developed within
the SNOW control (FP7) collaborative project funded by European Commission.

New Family of RST Touch Screen Rheometers Introduced
Brookfi eld welcomes three new instruments into its touch screen family of rheometers: the RST-CPS Cone Plate Rheometer, the RST-CC Coaxial Cylinder Rheometer and the RST-SST Soft Solids Tester Rheometer. The new RST Series offers the quickest and most comprehensive capability for making rheological measurements, whether it’s single point viscosity for QC or complete fl ow curve analysis for R&D.
The RST Rheometers are unique because they operate in both controlled stress and controlled rate modes and can perform all of the following tests: viscoelastic modulus, yield stress, viscosity vs. shear rate profi le, thixotropy calculation, creep behavior, recovery after fl ow, and temperature sensitivity. Every RST Rheometer offers the widest torque range available to handle the broadest range of sample materials (500 to 1 million dyne•cm). They provide exceptional versatility with the largest range of shear rates and DIN spindle geometries. The sturdy, rugged design of the RST is ideal for use in R&D, working in the QC lab, or on the production fl oor.
All RST models come with the standard option for 21 CFR compliance, including controlled user access and data integrity/security. synthesis reactor- 80 bars-60°C);
No other instrument offers so much capability at such a low price. For more information about Brookfi eld’s new family of RST Rheometers, visit
