Acorn Area™

Particles Particles come in many shapes and sizes, almost always as concentrates.

Optimizing performance starts at the particle liquid interface.

Understanding it starts with an Acorn Area.

Acorn Area™

The Acorn Area measures particles in about 5 minutes, just as they are made, in any liquid, at any concentration: no dilution, drying, or any sample preparation whatsoever.

Measurements of the particle liquid interface of suspensions without dilution provide a sensitive tool not just for research and development studies but also to control quality in manufacturing.

Acorn Drop™

Undertanding emulsion formulation stability is easy… all it takes is a Drop.

Acorn Drop™

Emulsions are utilized in a vast number of everyday materials including foodstuffs, household and personal care products, and pharmaceuticals. Drop size measurements are perhaps the most important predictor of formulation stability. Ordinary particle size measuring instruments require extensive dilution. In contrast, the Acorn Drop performs size measurements of high concentration, high viscosity, opaque and light-sensitive emulsions without dilution. Nanoemulsions and even microemulsions can be studied. Our approach is nondestructive - emulsions can be studied without any perturbation that will affect the outcomes of the measurement.

Acorn Area™ Flow

In formulation development, component addition can change everything. To understand what happens, go with the Flow.

Acorn Area™ Flow

The Acorn Flow provides a sensitive tool to monitor changes at the particle-liquid interface created by integrating additives to suspensions. Adsorption/desorption phenomena can be studied. Whatever your application: formulation development, suspension surface area, aggregation processes (flocculation and coagulation), emulsion droplet size and stability, sedimentation and creaming, speak with our sales team to see if we can help. Our devices have been used to improve product performance in a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronics, energy, ceramics, and coatings.
