Use of XDC for Characterizing Fine ZnO in Sun Screen Application

Once favoured only by lifeguards and mountaineers, sunscreens based on zinc oxide are now one of the coolest forms of skincare. New transparent zinc oxide formulations rely on accurate measurement of particle size distribution to combine cosmetic appeal with powerful ultraviolet-stopping ability. Zinc oxide has a long and honourable history as an ingredient in skin-care […]

Brookhaven Instruments Correlator Improves Aggregate Characterization

The University of Manchester’s School of Pharmacy has been using a Brookhaven BI-9000AT correlator to help improve research procedures and the instrument has proven particularly well matched to the detection of aggregates measuring only a few nanometers in size. The BI-9000AT was chosen over competitive systems because it offered more advanced features. These have been […]
