Malvern Moves to Direct Support for Viscotek Products in India
8 April 2009: Malvern, UK: Users of Viscotek GPC/SEC, dilute solution viscosity and light scattering systems in India are taking advantage of newly enhanced customer support, with the entire product range now being managed direct in the region by Malvern Aimil Instruments Pvt Ltd.
Viscotek, a leader in gel permeation chromatography (GPC/SEC) solutions became a Malvern company in January 2008. The establishment in May last year of a joint venture between Malvern and Aimil, Malvern's long-term distribution partner in India, also paved the way to extending technical and applications support for Viscotek customers in that area.
Stuart Wakefield, distributor sales manager for Malvern confirmed that, "The Malvern Aimil team has recently been enlarged to accommodate the Viscotek range and to provide all users with access to the comprehensive support services for which Malvern is known around the world. As in all countries, the activities of our local specialist teams are also backed by Malvern's international Help Desk and vast array of web-based services and support."
Malvern Aimil is headquartered in Mumbai, with staff operating from eight offices across India, and having centres of excellence in Bangalore and Boroda.
Web-based services delivered by Malvern include interactive training, an extensive programme of free web seminars, and an unparalleled knowledge base containing materials ranging from brochures, technical and application notes to downloadable presentations and recorded web seminars.

About Malvern Instruments
Malvern Instruments provides a range of complementary materials characterization tools that deliver inter-related measurements reflecting the complexities of particulates and disperse systems, nanomaterials and macromolecules. Analytical instruments from Malvern are used in the characterization of a wide variety of materials, from industrial bulk powders to nanomaterials and delicate macromolecules. A broad portfolio of innovative technologies is combined with intelligent, user-friendly software. These systems deliver industrially relevant data enabling our customers to make the connection between micro (such as particle size) and macro (bulk) material properties (rheology) and chemical composition (chemical imaging).
Particle size, particle shape, zeta potential, molecular weight, chemical composition and rheological properties measurements are now joined by advanced chromatography solutions (GPC/SEC), extending Malvern's technologies for protein molecular weight, size and aggregation measurements, and synthetic polymer molecular weight and distribution. The company's laboratory, at-line, on-line and in-line solutions are proven in sectors as diverse as cement production and pharmaceutical drug discovery.
Headquartered in Malvern, UK, Malvern Instruments has subsidiary organizations in all major European markets, North America, China, Korea and Japan, a joint venture in India, a global distributor network and applications laboratories around the world. www.malvern.com
