Morphologi high sensitivity particle characterisation system from Malvern Instruments has slashed the time required to analyse particles in a pharmaceutical ointment from two hours to just 15 minutes
Malvern's business development director, Duncan Roberts, said: "Sales of our established Zetasizer Nano range of particle and molecular characterization systems continue to grow.
"The combination of dynamic and static light scattering provides sensitivity to small changes in particle size and molecular weight and we are seeing their increasing application for the characterisation of proteins, biological and other nano-scale materials.
"The distribution agreement for the United States, South and Central America with Farfield Scientific will enable Malvern Instruments to offer its customers an additional capability, allowing them to characterise the relationship between the structure and function of biomolecules, and providing new insights into a range of surface science applications".
Gerry Ronan, chief executive officer of Farfield Scientific, commented: "Farfield's proprietary dual polarisation interferometry (DPI) technology is the first that is capable of revealing the intimate relationship between structural change and function in biological molecules in real time, at market-leading levels of sensitivity and resolution.
"The synergy with Malvern's materials characterisation systems offers exciting new possibilities to researchers in many areas of nano-materials and biophysical characterisation.
"We look forward to working with Malvern and to supporting their activities through our US office in Pittsburgh".
Malvern Instruments is a global company that develops, manufactures and markets advanced analytical systems for the characterisation of a wide variety of materials, from bulk powders to nanomaterials and delicate macromolecules.
Innovative technologies combined with powerful software produce systems that deliver industrially relevant particle characterisation, rheological and chemical composition data.
Farfield Scientific is an innovator and global supplier of new analytical instruments that address the emerging molecular-scale measurement demands of the biophysics surface science and nanotechnology communities.
These communities provide the most demanding measurement challenges facing research over the next decade.
The company's dual polarisation interferometry (DPI) technology is the first that is capable of revealing the intimate and complex relationship between structural change and function in biological molecules in real time, at sub-molecular resolution.
Application areas include biophysical characterisation, structural and functional proteomics, biomolecular interaction studies, drug discovery, diagnostic development and biopharmaceutical analysis. Request free introductory details about products from Malvern Instruments ...
