Listening to your requirements

The essence of what we do is to provide the instruments and know-how for you to obtain meaningful and reliable analytical results. We do this by listening to your requirements and taking care to supply the most suitable technology together with on-going help.

We represent a group of highly regarded international companies. Their range of innovative instruments are applicable across the Particle, Surface, Life and Material Sciences.

Established over 30 years ago we have built an extensive customer base throughout Australia and New Zealand. This includes Universities, CSIRO and a diverse range of companies in the pharmaceutical, polymer, chemical and mining industries.

Specialist advice and training

Our people have an extensive range of skills and experience in analytical technologies, especially particle and protein characterisation. We can support you with ongoing applications assistance and by encouraging the adoption of standard operating procedures. Advice regarding instrument operation and optimisation of data quality are freely available by phone and email.

To help you get the best from your instrument we also offer a range of events throughout the year including training courses, workshops and seminars. Training courses cover the fundamentals of the measurement technique, instrument operation, familiarity with software and data interpretation. Practical demonstrations form an important part of the training.

Long term technical services

A full range of technical services are provided by our engineers including operator training, preventative maintenance, repair and upgrades. The objective is to ensure that your instruments are always in working order and producing reliable results.

Our customer support is over the long term and usually over the lifetime of the instrument. We provide this long term support, so that you can enjoy the maximum benefit from our products and services

There is constant change in analytical technologies. We will meet the demands of new challenges by continuing to invest in the technical capabilities of our people.

Customer installations

AUTOCHEM II 2920

Monash University, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering has installed their new Micromeritics Autochem II 2920 Chemisorption Analyser. This fully automated instrument enables highly precise chemical adsorption and temperature- programmed reaction studies, ideal for studying catalysts.

Malvern Mastersizer 3000

Ensign Laboratories have recently installed their new Mastersizer 3000 particle sizing system. Their team is focused on the development of liquid formulation types and delivery systems, from cosmetic and therapeutic product development to specialised functional foods, as well as ingestible health and pharmaceutical products.

NanoSight NS300

All G foods recently installed their new Malvern NanoSight NS300 with autosampler. All G Foods is an Australian startup that develops dairy proteins that can be included in milk and other “cow-free” dairy products, as well as plant-based meat ranges. Their team of food technologists are passionate about solving the world’s toughest food challenges with high-quality alternative proteins.

Avestin Emulsiflex C5

The University of Queensland, department of chemical engineering, has installed their new Avestin Emulsiflex C5, an air-driven, high-pressure homogeniser that rapidly reduces particles and droplets from micron to nanometer sizes. COVID travel restrictions meant the installation took place online which further helps show the ease-of-use of the system.

Mastersizer 3000 Chocosizer kit

Mondelez International, one of the largest food manufacturers in Australia (with iconic brands including Cadbury, The Natural Confectionery Co., Pascall, Philadelphia and OREO) has installed their new Malvern Mastersizer chocosizer kit. Supporting chocolate production and QC, it will provide a simple method for fast, reliable chocolate particle size analysis to produce a product with a consistent taste and mouthfeel. Control of the cocoa and milk solids particle size and particle size distribution is critical to achieving this objective.
