So gehen Sie der Herkunft von Verunreinigungen in Flüssigkeiten auf den Grund

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.

Osseointegration von metallischen Implantaten artefaktfrei abgebildet

Markus J. Heneka — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 10:07:39 +0000

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.

X4 Poseidon Desktop Mikro-CT bestens geeignet für die Pharmaentwicklung

Markus J. Heneka — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 13:07:56 +0000

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.

Ultra-Schnelle SEM-EDX Analyse von Restschmutzpartikeln ab 100 µm mit dem ParticleX

Markus J. Heneka — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 09:48:19 +0000

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. Watch the video to see for yourself!

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.

X4 Poseidon von Bruker überzeugt durch höchste Auflösung und vielseitige Einsatzgebiete

Markus J. Heneka — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 08:30:21 +0000

Brian Metscher from the Institute of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Vienna provided us with three samples to test the quality of the X4 Poseidon at high magnifications. We were just as impressed with the images as he was.

Historisches PSEM im Elektronenmikroskopie-Museum Nürnberg zu sehen

Markus J. Heneka — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 06:48:19 +0000

We recently donated a historic but still functional PSEM microscope from this era to the Nuremberg Electron Microscopy Museum. The museum showcases the history and applications of electron microscopy through a wide range of exhibits and was recently featured in a Bavarian Broadcasting program. We are delighted that our instrument has found a place in the exhibition and will continue to be used there.
