Laboratory Products 45 New Quality Control Solution for Foam Prevention and Inhibition
Krüss has released the new Foam Tester, an instrument for testing liquids with respect to their foam formation and stability behaviour, focusing on quality control for foam prevention and inhibition. The Foam Tester provides for standardised foam formation by electronically controlled gas flow and for objective result reading thanks to precise, electronic foam height detection. The measurement is carried out automatically and user-independently using easily adaptable automation programs.
By recording the total height of foam inside the measuring column and the liquid height beneath the foam, data are related to the absolute amount of foam and also give conclusive results for the liquid content and flow-out speed (drainage).
In many products and processes, such as cooling lubricants or spray painting, foam formation can directly affect quality. Even unstable foams are a problem when the liquid is in permanent motion and foam is created faster than it decays. Quality control for such liquids and the defoamers/antifoamers involved requires capturing the formation and stability of foam even if it breaks down quickly. For this purpose, the Foam Tester records the decay curve with a particularly high data rate. Moreover, automated cycles can reveal whether the foam level decays fast enough or rises from measurement to measurement. To adapt the conditions to the real process, measurements can be carried out temperature-controlled at up to 90°C and also with externally connected gases such as carbon dioxide.
The Foam Tester allows preparing the measurement in a few easy steps. The measuring cylinder is placed in the instrument with a single movement using the plug-in unit. The flexible system, which simply uses paper filters to provide the pores for foaming up, enables all components to be cleaned quickly. It also allows one sample to be prepared while another measurement is running in order to save time. The clear data management with the instrument’s ADVANCE software ensures gapless documentation of raw data and end results.

ADVERTORIAL Automated Cell Counter Wins Best New
Life Science Product Award DeNovix Inc, a developer and manufacturer of instrumentation and assays for the life sciences has been awarded the prestigious Best New Life Science Product of the Year Award for the CellDrop Automated Cell Counter which enables scientists to Count Cells Without Slides™.
The Scientists’ Choice Awards recognise the innovations which have had the greatest impact on global scientific advancement - as nominated by scientists around the world. With a drive towards sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of the laboratory, the DeNovix CellDrop Cell Counter, with its unique DirectPipette™ Technology, incorporates a novel sample loading method that eliminates the need for disposable plastic slides typically required for routine cell counting.
The CellDrop features both dual fluorescence and brightfield optics and a variable height chamber, enabling accurate measurement across a wide range of cell types, densities and sizes. Additionally, its easy-to-use software and 7”
touchscreen interface and network integration, enable users to capture, review and export data easily and securely.
“Since introducing CellDrop to the market in April 2019 the reviews and feedback from scientists around the world has been excellent and we are delighted it has been recognised with this prestigious award,” said Fred Kielhorn, CEO of DeNovix. “Researchers are actively seeking out ways to improve the environmental footprint of their labs and CellDrop enables this while decreasing consumable costs and bringing new functionality.”
