BeScan Lab - Stability Excellence Within Reach 

 

Stability analysis is crucial throughout the product lifecycle, from formulation optimization and quality control to assessing optimal transportation and storage conditions.

 

Traditional stability assessment methods, like visual inspection and particle size analysis, have limitations in handling complex compositions. They are prone to environmental interference and can incur high long-term costs.

 

Our BeScan Lab stability analyzer utilizes static multiple light scattering technology to provide detailed, reliable and non-destructive analysis in just 24 hours.

 

We’ve used BeScan Lab to study the stability of diverse samples, including:

 

1. Beer Foam 2. PNIPAm Hydrogel 3. Ibuprofen 4. 3D Printing Slurry 5. Titanium dioxide nanoparticle suspension 6. Detergents
