Product news

Celebrating its silver anniversary, Whitehouse Scientific has been producing and certifying glass microspheres for 25 years, establishing itself as the premiere laboratory for glass reference standards.

Over 1 million single-shot bottles have been produced, which minimise operator bias and guarantee repeatable particle size analyses in critical applications.

Whitehouse Scientific has also developed a new method of pore size analysis in filter media, measuring sizes from 5-1000 microns. Where filter efficiencies are required, maximum pore sizes down to 3 microns can be determined.

All the standards, whether used for size calibration or pore size determination are NIST traceable.

To further commemorate the silver anniversary, Whitehouse Scientific is launching its first range of opaque standards, glass beads coated in silver. A Shape Standard is also in production. Progress on these exciting new products will feature on the company website, accessible from the Article webpage.

FiltrationFiltration and microfiltration are used to separate solids, particulates or large molecules from fluids (liquid or gases) in order to purify the filtrate. Explore a range of filter formats, including filter paper, plates and membranes for your separation needs. While larger particulates may be separated by gravity filtration, smaller particulates may require additional force for timely separation. Microfiltration equipment includes vacuum filters, as well as positive pressure, crossflow and centrifugal filtration devices.

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.
