Characterization of Pollen Samples with the Morphologi® G3SE
2 Jan 2015The clinical efficacy of allergy diagnostic products is highly dependent on the composition of the active allergen source material chosen. Therefore, it is highly important to effectively characterize source material during the manufacturing process. The Morphologi® G3 automated particle characterization system is an analytical tool that provides microscope quality images and delivers statistically significant data through the rapid analysis. The system can be used to analyze different types of pollen as will be described in this case study.

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.
