Small Volume Shear Cell for FT4

Freeman Technology will introduce a new accessory for the company's FT4 Powder Rheometer. The fully automated, small volume shear cell is a completely new module that will enable users to extend the range of shear testing applications on the FT4 to include those for which only very small amounts of sample are available. This includes many pharmaceutical actives, and materials such as early stage formulations where a wide range of tests must be carried out on limited supplies. Managing director Reg Freeman will also make a presentation at the Bulk Days seminar (12/13 October; www.bulkdays.com) on Methods of determining powder flow properties.
