The new brochure for Freeman Technology’s FT4 powder rheometer, which is now freely downloadable from the company’s website, illustrates the breadth of the system’s capabilities.

A sophisticated universal powder testing system, the FT4 not only characterises the flowability of powders in a dynamic, process relevant way, it can also measure shear strength and bulk properties including compressibility, bulk density and permeability.

With plug and play measurements options, full automation and high sensitivity the FT4 is attractive for QC, product formulation, process design and troubleshooting applications across a broad range of industries. Sales into pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, cosmetics, toners, powder coatings and ceramics sectors are testament to the instrument’s effectiveness and widespread applicability.

Process ChemistryProcess chemistry is an important stage of drug development for scaling-up drug production or chemical synthesis reactions. It is useful for optimizing economical and efficient drug production. Process chemistry uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers.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.Compound AnalysisCompound analysis is used to discover specific compounds that could be promising candidates for pharmaceutical use. This potential is identified when compounds have the desired effect, such as interaction with a target protein, during high throughput screening.
