More choice, simpler interface – Freeman launches new software for powder tester

22 Oct 2006

Product news

The new release of Freeman Technology’s Data Analysis software package for the company’s FT4 universal powder tester delivers faster analysis with more flexible reporting options.

It incorporates the latest types of test available on this multi-functional powder measurement system, and offers a redesigned and simplified user interface.

Thanks to a programme of continual development, new functions and extended measurement capabilities have been added to the FT4. These include compression, permeability and shear testing; the FT4 is now regarded as a universal powder tester. The new FT4-DA (V4) software enables the comprehensive analysis of all test types and data sets, allowing them to be represented both graphically and in report form. It also incorporates a number of new tools for users that make analysis and data representation and comparison even easier. Enhanced graphics and graphing facilities allow more sophisticated results presentation and full report customisation.

Part of the instrument’s system software, FT4-DA enables rapid interpretation and summary of measured data from powder samples. It is a standalone application that can be installed on any computer, allowing analysis away from the laboratory if required. Existing FT4 users can upgrade to the new release free of charge.

Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.RheometryRheometers are used to measure the rheology of fluids, which is the flow of fluids in response to an applied force. The most common types of rheometer include shear rheometers (capillary, cone and plate and rotational cylinder) and extensional rheometers. Viscometers are similar to rheometers however viscometers only measure the viscosity of a fluid.Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
