Carbon Black is a near universal material that has broad industrial application. It is used as an abrasion-resistant filler in the manufacture of tires and other rubber materials. Carbon black is also used as a pigment in coatings and lacquers, plastics, printing inks and tinting blacks. Since the particle size distribution (PSD) of aggregates of […]
Citrus bergamia (C. bergamia,) commonly known as bergamot orange, is a small, aromatic citrus fruit primarily cultivated in the Calabria region of southern Italy. It is renowned for its distinctive aroma and is widely used in the production of essential oils, particularly bergamot oil, which is a key ingredient in perfumes, flavorings, and aromatherapy. Research […]
In the paper, “Lavender-Oil Fusidic Acid Nanoemulgel: A Novel Strategy Against Fusidic Acid-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus,” researchers explored a novel way to formulate an antimicrobial nanoemulgel that is superior to current available commercial market products for the topical delivery of Fusidic Acid. A Fusidic Acid (FA) nanoemulgel was successfully developed using a self-nanoemulsifying technique that combined lavender […]
Food-derived natural products such as food-derived nanovesicles (FDNVs) are gaining recognition as promising nutraceutical tools because of their capacity to concentrate and transport specific biomolecules and nutrients. These compounds, naturally present in foods, can offer targeted health benefits by delivering bioactive substances that support various physiological functions. Their potential includes antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating effects, […]
We are pleased to bring you a free, online e-learning course so you can learn more about the underlying principles of Dynamic and Electrophoretic Light Scattering in a fun way. Our Light Scattering Fundamentals course contains twenty-four short modules on the things that actually go wrong at the bench, and the science underneath them. Each […]
We are often asked to perform a calibration on one of our Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) instruments and, at times, are met with confused looks when we state there is no calibration and that DLS is not a calibrated technique. Dynamic Light Scattering is considered an uncalibrated technique primarily because it relies on theoretical models […]
We here at Brookhaven Instruments have been around a while. When you are a pioneer in the field of light scattering technologies with 45+ years talking with customers and expert users, you get asked a few questions over the years. In fact, we been asked a lot of questions. Some questions still make us stop […]
Dynamic Light Scattering, Simplified. Focus On The Science. Not The Instrument. Dynamic Light Scattering Is About to Get Simpler. As dynamic light scattering systems have evolved, many have become increasingly complex, with added features that drive up costs and complicate everyday workflows. At Brookhaven Instruments, we asked a simple question: What if DLS focused on […]
The dielectric constant, also known as relative permittivity (denoted as εᵣ or εʹ), is a fundamental property of a material that describes its inherent polarizability. The dielectric constant quantifies how much electric potential energy can be stored in a dielectric material. It is typically given as the ratio of the permittivity of a material relative […]
Electrophoretic Display (EPD) technology is a type of electronic paper display that mimics the appearance of ink on paper. It operates based on the principle of electrophoresis, where charged particles suspended in a transparent fluid move under the influence of an electric field to create visible images or text. Common applications of EPD technology include […]
