U12-E13. Turbiscan-lab-backscattering-stability-analyzer-formulaction
Description:
Instrument for the evaluation of colloidal stability. It measures turbidity by multiple light scattering, as a function of time along the vertical axis by both transmitted and backscattered light. It can analyse samples up to 95 vol% with a wide range of particle sizes (10 nm – 1 mm). The samples are placed inside a temperature-controlled chamber, and the measurements can be carried out from room temperature up to 60 ˚C.
Applications:
Allows to study the colloidal stability of emulsions, suspensions and foams and to determine whether there is sedimentation, creaming, flocculation or coalescence.

It includes two revolvers to work at short or long distances. Moreover, it is equipped with a digital camera (Olympus DP73) connected to the computer with a software that captures images and videos.
Applications:
Observation of samples at microscale
U12-E11. DMA -46 densitometer (Anton Paar)
Description:
Instrument for the Determination of the density of liquid samples using Pulsed Excitation. It is a highly precise instrument, measuring density by the method of resonance vibration frequency of a glass capillary.
Applications:
Measurement of the density of liquid samples at controlled temperature
U12-E10. Optilab rEX Differential Refractometer
Description:
The Optilab® rEX (refractometer with EXtended range) is a Refractive Index measurement system. It has a flow cell with a total volume of only 7.4 µL. This translates into minimized band broadening and better temperature stability. It can measure the absolute refractive index of a solution. In addition, it can measure the dn/dc of a solvent at a fixed wavelength. The light source in the rEX can be replaced for other wavelengths (e.g. 690, 633, 488 nm, etc.). The temperature can be programmed from 4°C to 50°C. It is compatible with all HPLC systems.
Applications:
Refractive Index determination, mainly of liquid samples, can be useful in measurements of other techniques (Dynamic Light Scattering as an example). It can be also possible to calculate the refraction index as a function of concentration for a compound. This can allow you to determine the purity or concentration of the compound which is dissolved in a liquid.
