In some industries, for example, in early-stage pharmaceutical development, it is desirable to measure particle size from a small samples of dry powders. However measuring small quantities risks measuring a sample that is not representative of the bulk material. In this application note, we demonstrate the capability of the Aero S dry dispersion unit and the Mastersizer 3000 to measure small quantities of pharmaceutical materials dosed with large particles and to detect those large, anomalous particles.

Analytical sciences are at the core of many fundamental and applied scientific problems and innovations. Did you know that one out of every two chemists working in industry is working in analytical sciences?

In 2008, COAST (which stands for Comprehensive Analytical Science and Technology) was formed to address three major concerns in analytical science

Teachers of the analytical sciences have a hard job. Lesson preparation time is limited – and, if the teacher’s own educational background is lacking, he or she could struggle to deliver what students really need.

More than 15,000 UK school students have been given the opportunity to learn about spectroscopy through hands-on experience thanks to The Royal Society of Chemistry’s Spectroscopy in a Suitcase (SIAS) scheme.

As the world’s most populous country and the second largest global economy, the potential for growth is significant. But how does an analytical services company break into China?

Safer than radioactive labelling, fluorescence detection offers workflow streamlining and quicker results.

The death of a University of California staff research assistant back in 2008 put safety concerns on the agenda. Where are we now?

Structure elucidation of small organic molecules requires a concerted analysis using several techniques.
