02 9541 3500Workshop: Three Powerful Tools for Understanding Powder Flow Behaviour
30 June-10 July 2025
Melbourne Sydney Brisbane
A big thank you to everyone who attended our recent workshop! If you weren’t able to make it, don’t worry—you can still get in touch to learn more about the technologies and insights we shared.
At the event, we were delighted to welcome Dr Anand Tadas and Dr Ruby Hooi, from MalvernPanalytical, global leader in particle characterisation. This workshop focused on understanding how material structure affects powder flow properties which are essential for developing and manufacturing high quality materials.
We showcased the latest in characterisation technologies through real-world case studies and best practices. Users gained valuable insights into assessing powder flowability, packing density, structure, dissolution, and more using cutting-edge analytical techniques.
Live demonstrations showcased Powder rheology: FT4 Powder Rheometer; Powder packing density and porosity: Accupyc; Particle shape and size: Morphologi 4 & Mastersizer 3000+, and Elemental contaminant screening: Epsilon 4
Our workshops offered participants an opportunity for deeper discussions on specific applications and technical challenges in addition to a hands-on sample analysis session to look at how our suite of characterisation technologies can help optimise workflows and generate reproducible, high-quality data.

May 26-28, 2025
Brisbane Sydney Melbourne
A big thank you to everyone who attended our recent workshop! If you weren’t able to make it, don’t worry—you can still get in touch to learn more about the technologies and insights we shared.
At the event, we were delighted to welcome Dr Fiona Mary Antony from KRÜSS GmbH, a global leader in surface science instrumentation. Dr Antony presented a comprehensive overview of the principles behind liquid surface tension, surface energy, and contact angle measurement, and introduced some of KRÜSS’s latest innovations:
These versatile tools, along with KRÜSS’s range of foam analysers, bubble pressure instruments, and spinning drop systems, are designed to meet the needs of scientists working in materials, chemicals, polymers, and food science.
Our live demonstrations offered a valuable opportunity for deeper discussions on specific applications and technical challenges. Attendees appreciated the hands-on look at how these solutions can help optimise workflows and generate reproducible, high-quality data.
As part of the Australian Coatings Show (29–30 May), Dr Antony also delivered her talk, “Optimising Coating Processes: Enhancing Adhesion and Performance Across Industries.” Her presentation highlighted how advanced surface analysis can improve coating performance and durability across a range of industrial sectors.
Are you working with solids, liquids, or foams—or developing materials that must perform under extreme conditions?

August – September 2024
SYDNEY MELBOURNE BRISBANE
We recently hosted a series of training courses focused on the Malvern Mastersizer and Malvern Zetasizer instruments. Courses were run in 3 major cities around Australia and provided users with the opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge in achieving reliable particle sizing.
Both training courses are one day events that help users understand how the instruments work, how to make reliable measurements and how to interpret data. Important maintenance and sampling procedures are also covered in practicals.
The training courses will be run again in the future. Venues will depend on the level interest received. Contact us now to reserve your seat.
WORKSHOP/USER TRAINING: Nanosight Pro
6 – 14 May 2024 (Melbourne/ Brisbane/ Sydney)
Characterising Nanoparticles, EVs and exosomes is now quicker, easier and more accurate.
ATA Scientific hosted a special NTA workshop. Both new and existing users of NanoSight instruments were invited to expand their skills and knowledge on sample preparation and data analysis particularly when working with challenging samples.
Topics discussed:
- An introduction to the principles of NTA technology
- Tips and tricks on how to generate quality data
- A range of applications will be discussed (EVs, LNPs, fluorescence)
- New NanoSight Pro and Xplorer software demo
- Local researchers who currently use this technique are invited to present their work to enable further collaborative learning and sharing of ideas
- Afternoon training session: opportunity to discuss specific experimental set-up and data analysis in a group session with our application specialist Dr Yu-Su Chen, MalvernPanalytical (UK).
The new NanoSight Pro is powered by machine learning and a blend of smart features, meaning it is now faster, easier to use and with higher sensitivity to accurately distinguish between subtypes of EVs and analyse their functional relevance – all in matter of minutes with minimal sample preparation. Watch remote demo here.
If you missed us please contact us – book an appointment and use the NanoSight Pro system yourself!
Contact usWEBINAR: Recent developments in RNA R&D and manufacturing in NSW
A presentation by Dai Hayward as part of the NSW Pharmaceutical Science Group’s Vaccine technologies update webinar webcast on 14th June 2023
Prof Pall Thordarson, Director, RNA Institute UNSW together with Dai Hayward CEO, Micropore Technologies, provide a Vaccine Technologies Update for the RACI (Royal Australian Chemical Institute) NSW Pharmaceutical Science.
ABSTRACT: Dr Dai Hayward, CEO Micropore Technologies
As nanomedicines move from the urgency of mRNA vaccines, to minimise the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, to other exciting nucleotide therapies two significant issues need to be addressed before nanomedicines become truly mainstream therapies; tissue targeting and robust scalability from discovery to manufacture.
This presentation will address the importance of resolving the latter issue as a means of imparting high levels of control, in a formulation agnostic manner, to allow scale-appropriate optimisation of formulations for therapeutic outcomes with no compromises. Micropore Technologies’ established approach to development and manufacture of a variety of nanoparticles will be discussed. A novel whole-process approach, unlocking a route to distributed manufacturing, will be described.

Livecyte Workshop: Uncovering the inconvenient truth behind manual cell tracking
Our workshop series included three half hour webinars.
1/ Measuring random motility and wound healing with Livecyte: Are you only scratching the surface? (time 10.00-10.30am)
2/ Multiplication and division: Calculating growth and proliferation at population and single level with Livecyte. (time 11am-11.30am)
3/ Fluorescence in QPI Imaging: The mCherry on Top. (time 12noon-12.30pm)
The talks illustrated the root causes of manual tracking inaccuracies on a fundamental level and how using computer algorithms can eliminate them by removing the subjective nature of human interaction. The Livecyte system, is currently installed and ready for use within the UNSW. Using ptychography, a quantitative phase imaging modality, Livecyte is both ideally suited to label-free automated single cell tracking and extremely low phototoxicity.
