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.

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.

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.

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.

Sand im Getriebe – abrasive Minerale im Restschmutz unsichtbar?

Markus J. Heneka — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 21:00:00 +0000

It is often surprising for our customers when we find hard mineral particles on their components during technical cleanliness analysis. Customers ask: "How can that be? We didn't find anything in our own cleanliness tests." The contamination of hard minerals is so important, because these particles have an abrasive effect and thus massively damage mechanical systems such as gears and motors.

Fehlerhafte Detektion metallischer Partikel durch Lichtmikroskopie

Markus J. Heneka — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 20:00:00 +0000

The identification of metallic particles is an important requirement in cleanliness analysis. In recent years, the light-optical detection of metallic particles has commonly been performed by the means of gloss. On the basis of our laboratory experience, we have found that the light microscopic analysis often leads to incorrect typifications, which can be easily avoided by a material analysis using SEM-EDX.
