TURBISCAN LAB

TURBISCAN LAB

Microtrac MRB |


The world reference stability analyzer TURBISCAN LAB enables fast and sensitive identification of destabilization mechanisms (creaming, sedimentation, flocculation, coalescence, and more). A temperature-controlled measurement cell allows either stability monitoring at specific storage temperatures or acceleration of the destabilization process with a temperature increase up to 60°C.

The instrument works by measuring the backscattering of light passing through a sample over time. This allows for the detection of changes in particle size, aggregation, sedimentation, or creaming. By analyzing these changes, researchers can gain insights into the stability and shelf-life of the product.

The TURBISCAN LAB can be used in both R&D and QC labs for the development and routine control of raw materials and final product formulations. The TURBISCAN technology not only detects stability evolution at an early stage (up to 1,000 times faster compared to visual testing), but also quantifies global formula alteration with the Turbiscan Stability Index (TSI) scale.
