Technology

At the heart of the LUMiFuge Stability Analyser and the LUMiSizer Dispersion Analyser is the cutting-edge STEP-Technology®, which is short for Space- and Time-resolved Extinction Profiles. It is the only technology that allows you to analyze your whole sample instantaneously from top to bottom, so you can understand every aspect of your dispersion, emulsion, and suspension.

STEP-Technology permits to obtain Space and Time-resolved Extinction Profiles over the entire range of up to 8 different samples in situ recorded simultaneously with high accuracy. Parallel near infrared or blue light illuminates the entire sample cell and the transmitted light is detected by thousands of detectors. Transmission is converted into extinction and particle concentration may be calculated .




With STEP-Technology®, you can easily and quickly determine and quantify dispersion stability and a variety of instability phenomena, be it a change in particle size distribution, an increase in the creaming rate of your emulsion or sedimentation of your suspension (in true concentration and under real conditions).

In addition, you can investigate shelf life, examine coagulation / coalescence, measure flocculation rate and cake thickness, and the thickness and density of your sediment / cream layer and much more...

STEP-Technology® – giving you the edge in dispersion analysis and formulations.
