Particle characterization is becoming increasingly importantfor fine grinding to the submicron- or nanometer range becauseproduct properties often depend directly on particle size, accordingto Dimitrios Makrakis, Netzsch Grinding & Dispersing Business Unitmanaging director. He added: “The correct and reproducible analysisof particle size is a prerequisite for process optimization and qualitycontrol. As Malvern is a world-leading manufacturer in particleand materials characterization, we have the ideal partner to deliverthe best overall solution for both grinding technology and particlecharacterization and clients of both companies will benefit from thispartnership.”
Under the terms of the agreement, Malvern instrumentation will beinstalled in Netzsch demonstration and test laboratories in China, Brazil,Germany, Korea, India, and Russia. Customer materials in Netzschfacilities will be routinely tested using Malvern instrumentation, withMalvern staff available for consultation about analysing data. PaulWalker, Malvern’s managing director, said: “This cooperation betweentwo well-established, global companies provides real opportunitiesfor both of us to benefit from the collective expertise, experience, andmarket understanding that underpins each business.”

Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
