New Morphologi® G3 Premieres on Both Sides of Atlantic

Knowledge and understanding of particle shape as well as size is now essential in the development and control of many industrial processes. The Morphologi® G3 automated particle characterization system from Malvern Instruments is a new analytical tool that provides high quality, statistically significant particle size and shape information.

The Morphologi G3 builds on the success of its G2 predecessor, adding a new fully automated sample dispersion device and significantly extending automation and options for visualisation and data analysis. Morphologi G3 made its European debut at ILMAC (25-28 Sep 07; Basel, Switzerland) and will be exhibited for the first time in North America at the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists Annual Meeting & Exposition in San Diego, CA (11-15 November).

The Morphologi G3 provides microscope quality images and delivers statistically significant data through the rapid analysis of hundreds of thousands of particles with little or no user intervention. As with any analytical procedure, good sample preparation is a critical requirement and a major development in the Morphologi G3 is the novel fully integrated dry powder dispersion system. Precise software control of all dispersion parameters ensures highly reproducible dry powder dispersions with consistent and controlled particle orientation across a broad range of samples. The sample is completely enclosed and the system allows easy dispensing from bulk materials and the preparation of multiple aliquots.
