In a static or dynamic way, they give the chance to detect & measure the determinant parameters of concentrated dispersions stability. These parameters can be ingredients nature, quality and quantity but also processing characteristics (stirring speed, temperature, etc.). QUALITY CONTROL ON SEMI-FINISHED OR FINISHED PRODUCT (Analyses & Quality control laboratory, Pilot & Process plant) TurbiScan Lab and On Line offer the ability to control concentrated emulsions & suspensions instantaneously without dilution. The characteristics of semi-finished products (through manufacturing process at the lab, pilot or process scale) and /or final products can thus be easily tracked after sampling or with a derivation from the process reactor.
