ATA Scientific Customer Installations

Lava Blue has installed their new Phenom XL G2 Desktop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to support the development of a range of high purity materials for use in the manufacture of advanced batteries and other renewable energy technologies such as photovoltaic cells. Lava Blue use innovative technologies to manufacture high purity alumina powders for battery separators as well as other applications. The Phenom SEM will shine light on their R&D process, provide guidance in process control, and assist in QA/QC. 

Australian-based company Alpha HPA has installed their new Phenom Pharos G2 Desktop Scanning Electron Microscope to support the production of high-purity aluminium products suitable for a wide range of high technology industries including technical ceramics, LED lighting, synthetic sapphire, semiconductors, specialty catalysts, Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology and lithium-ion battery markets. Solvent extraction (SX) purification techniques coupled with unique, proprietary process chemistry deliver high purity aluminium oxides, hydroxides, nitrates and sulphates with a low carbon profile.   

CSR in Victoria, a building products company for Aus/NZ residential and commercial construction, have installed their new Mastersizer 3000+ particle size analyser. Delivering accurate particle size distribution measurements from 10 nm to 3.5 mm using a single optical measurement path, the system will enable precise control and optimisation of material properties and will help to enhance manufacturing processes.

EnGeneIC has installed their new Malvern Panalytical NanoSight Pro. This biopharmaceutical company focused on developing its proprietary EDV™ nanocell platform for the targeted delivery of chemotherapeutics and functional nucleic acids in cancer. NanoSight Pro with NTA technology is ideally suited to study the size of these particles from early stage research through to candidate screening, formulation development and clinical batch monitoring whilst the concentration measurement allows for final dose determination.  

Western Sydney University, Translational Health Research Institute has installed their new Malvern Panalytical NanoSight Pro. The instrument provides quick, easy and accurate nanoparticle size and concentration analysis for both the light scatter and fluorescence using NTA technology. The Institute works in partnership with health service and policy agencies to conduct its research in preventing and managing chronic disease, mental health & wellbeing, diagnostics & therapeutics.

RMIT University, Food Research & Innovation Centre recently installed their new KRUSS DSA25, an easy-to-use, Drop Shape Analyser for determining the wettability of solids using contact angle as well as the surface tension of liquids. The KRUSS DSA25 will help stimulate the development of new high-value food and beverage products for the global marketplace.
