Readers' choice award presented at Pittcon 2009
20 March 2009: Malvern, UK: Morphologi G3, the fully automated image analysis based particle characterization system from Malvern Instruments, has been voted winner in the particle analyzer category of the inaugural Laboratory Equipment Readers' Choice Awards. The award was presented during Pittcon 2009.
Already the recipient of an industrial design award, the Morphologi G3 is attracting attention not only for its sleek appearance and functional design, but more importantly for its performance and growing range of applications, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry.
Morphologi G3 is a new concept in particle characterization, providing microscope quality images and statistically significant particle size and shape information, through the rapid analysis of hundreds of thousands of particles - all with little or no user intervention. A further capability enables the fully automated detection, enumeration and size classification of foreign particulate matter (FPM) collected on a filter.
An important analytical tool for R&D, the Morphologi G3 is also used in QC and for other routine applications where the instrument is operated by a variety of users, making automation and ease-of-use very important. In developing the system the aim was to make sample dispersion an integral function, maximize automation, and minimize the manual, user-dependent controls and settings on the system.
Full automation using Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) eliminates the user bias inherent in manual microscopy methods, and SOPs allow straightforward method development and easy electronic transfer. Automatic calibration, conformance to 21CFR part 11 requirements and full IQ/OQ documentation ensure that the system is accurate and repeatable and all data is secure and validated. www.malvern.com/morphologi
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
