With a struggling economy, rising drug costs and an aging population using ever more prescription medicines, the need for inspection to differentiate counterfeit pharmaceuticals from authentic drugs has never been more important.
More than ever, traceable testing and measuring are an essential part of high-precision production and process optimization. A new Zwick test system for highly accurate, fully automatic physical plastics testing has the important addition of a spectrophotometer for reflected and transmitted light measurement of plastics.
Zwick has launched an updated version of its popular optical long travel extensometer. Now branded as lightXtens this extensometer is ideal for providing reliable, accurate measurements in tensile tests on highly ductile, highly elastic and touch-sensitive materials such as elastomers and latex plus all types of foil.
Indentec, the hardness specialist of the Zwick Roell Group has introduced the new ZHu MkII micro hardness tester. The instrument is supplied as standard with a motorized turret which can simultaneously support up to 4 objective lenses and 2 indenters.
Irene Revenko, MD/PhD, of Asylum Research, has been seconded to Asylum’s continental Europe distributor, Atomic Force F&E, as their representative in France for atomic force/scanning probe microscopy (AFM/SPM). Dr. Revenko will strengthen support for all French speaking users and potential customers of Atomic Force F&E.
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments introduces the Prominence GPC high performance liquid chromatograph for use in polymer chemistry. The Prominence GPC is designed specifically to deliver reliable analytical data in measuring the distribution of molecular weights.
VoyageIR is a portable low-cost thermography system that provides performance comparable to full scale laboratory systems. Designed for field NDT applications with a host of features that expedite and simplify the inspection process, VoyageIR sets up in minutes and is compact enough to travel in a single carrying case.
Kelvin probe force microscopy is a special type of this imaging technique named after Lord Kelvin. When brought to the market in 1991, a scientific description of how to interprete the images was delivered. To this, physicist Christine Baumgart, a doctoral student of the nanospintronics group at the FZD, has now added new features.
There are components that save lives: if a car rolls over during an accident, the ‘B-pillar’ plays a key role. It forms one of the connections between the floor and roof of the vehicle and is designed to prevent the passenger cell from deforming too much.
Rio Tinto has taken the first step in divesting its downstream Alcan Engineered Products business by agreeing to the sale of 56 per cent of its Cable division to Platinum Equity. Rio Tinto Alcan will remain a key supplier of aluminium rod and molten aluminium to Cable’s plants in North America.
