For several years, we have been supporting a young girl in Uganda through the project aid organization Uganda eV in Büchenau. Our sponsored child, Nakimera Maria, regularly reports on her daily life to us; we recently received news from her again.
We are very pleased to be able to participate with an information stand at the 16th specialist conference on technical cleanliness in assembly and production processes and to present our products to an interested audience.
Contaminants in liquids are not only a nuisance, but also pose risks to the function and safety of products. In the automotive and mechanical engineering industries, particles in engine, transmission, or hydraulic oil lead to premature wear or system failure. With ultrapure water and liquid medical devices, foreign particles represent a risk to the health of users, which is why they must be completely eliminated.
New to our product range is a disposable filtration system for extracting foreign particles from liquid pharmaceuticals, such as cytostatics. This handy system is easy to assemble and use. You can conveniently filter your sample on-site and send the residue to our testing laboratory for analysis.
Our test specimen is a distal femur from a sheep with two titanium screws. We scanned our specimen with the X4 POSEIDON at an X-ray energy of 110 kV, a 1 mm molybdenum filter, and a voxel size of 30 µm. The cross-sectional image through a titanium screw in the femoral condyle shows no artifacts in the shadow of the metal. The undamaged bone structure in the screw thread is clearly visible.
Thanks to its non-destructive analysis capabilities, Bruker's X4 Poseidon imaging platform is ideally suited for pharmaceutical development and quality control. This 3D X-ray microscope is a benchtop instrument that enables non-destructive analysis of both the outer capsule and its contents using a high-resolution 3D dataset. The image shown here was scanned at a voxel size of 3.5 µm in just 26 minutes.
Please note that our testing laboratory will be closed from December 24, 2025 to January 6, 2026 and our office will only be available to a limited extent during this time.
With modern SEM-EDX instruments, particle analysis of the entire filter is usually faster than a correlative approach. The Phenom ParticleX automates residual contamination analysis; no expert knowledge is required. And best of all: A single pass for particles as small as 100 µm typically takes only about 15 minutes.

Ceramic crucibles are indispensable in the precious metals industry, but due to the high melting temperatures of some precious metals, they have a limited lifespan and sometimes need to be replaced daily. Each replacement means lost time and additional costs. A customer turned to our accredited testing laboratory to maximize their service life.
