Spectacular NANOPHOX Development!Sympatec GmbH has released a major re-design of its unique Dynamic Light Scattering based NANOPHOX PCCS instrument. The Sympatec specific NNLS evaluation algorithm, allowing for secure determination of size distributions even with multimodal structures has now been enhanced with the “auto-NNLS” mode. The outstanding performance provides very reliable and realistic information about the particle size distributions, which are at the same time highly reproducible. The auto-NNLS mode requires no operator input for optimum determination of evaluation parameters and thus is applicable in validated environments and for FDA conform SOP’s as well. However, for special tasks manual operation and optimisation if requested is still available. |
Poster publication of Pfizer on AAPS 2007.During the recent annual 2007 meeting of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists in San Diego (11 to 15 November) Glenn Carlson & Bruno Hancock of Pfizer Inc., Groton CT, USA, presented a very informative poster regarding "The Effect of lot-to-lot Particle Size Variation in AVICELL? PH Grades of Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) on Bulk Powder and Compact Properties". The particle size distribution was analysed using the Sympatec HELOS laser diffraction (LD) instrument and the RODOS dry powder disperser. These (LD) results were then complemented with a shape distribution analysis performed on the Sympatec QICPIC dynamic image analysis instrument using the RODOS dry powder disperser. |
Sympatec wins Nano AwardThe 1st prize of the photo competition "Nano im Bild" was awarded to Sympatec with its collage Nanu? Nano!. The prize was awarded on 7 November 2007 during the Nano Workshop 2007 in the auditorium of the Technical University of Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany. |
WINDOX 5.4 releasedThe new software for particle size and shape analysis, WINDOX 5.4, has been released. It can be validated and comes with the following major improvements: Image analyses may now contain up to 100,000,000 particles in 2GB of disk space. User and Database Administration can now be executed while users are connected to the database server. The database maintenance can now be made a scheduled task.Up to ten instances of the Data Visualisation Program may be run concurrently on the same computer. A WINDOX license can now be easily transferred from the software protection key to the computer and back. |
