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

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!

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.

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.

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.
