We recently determined for an analytical client whether and to what extent the rubber stopper used to seal a medication bottle generates particles when pierced with a syringe to withdraw the medication. The client was surprised that piercing the stopper can generate particles measuring several hundred micrometers and wanted to statistically investigate the process.
Intraoperative margin assessment using X-rays has long been standard in breast cancer treatment in countries such as the USA, China, Japan, and the UK. Although the procedure can significantly reduce the number of repeat surgeries, the technology has been adopted only hesitantly in Germany.
Bruker has achieved a great success with the X4 POSEIDON. With this system, Bruker is introducing a platform for 3D X-ray microscopy or microtomography in table format, which can be equipped with various sources and detectors depending on the customer's requirements.
Our customers often ask how best to package their sensitive samples for transport to our testing laboratory. Products of high purity must be handled carefully. Instructions on how to pack them correctly can be seen in the following video.
Anyone who has samples tested for cleanliness relies on reliable testing and precise determination and representation of the particles contained. With our Particle Browser, we offer you software for follow-up checks and revisions to verify analysis results and to identify and correct possible measurement errors.
As part of the DELFIN joint project, we have acquired a new type of X-ray microscope (“nano-CT”) to examine the electrode structure of a modern lithium solid-state battery using 3D imaging.
Customers have repeatedly asked us whether we can determine the residual moisture in coolers. We have now equipped our laboratory with a device for analyzing residual moisture and offer this test as standard. We have already successfully carried out the first tests on behalf of customers
In addition to our daily analysis work, researching and developing new processes is particularly exciting for us. We are therefore very pleased that we are able to work on the DELFIN joint project and thus on an interesting topic - the development of solid-state batteries.
Our customer Dr. Anton Windfelder from the Justus Liebig University of Giessen has published an impressive study on the intestinal tract of the tobacco hornworm caterpillar (Manduca sexta). This animal serves as a model system for ecotoxicology, immunology and intestinal physiology.
