Alfatestlab provides a complete characterization of powder behaviour thanks to the use of the unique FT4 Powder Rheometer®. The characteristics of a powder are of fundamental importance in the good performances of innumerable industrial processes and in the performance of many products. The behaviour of a powder, for example in terms of flowability, is influenced by intrinsic characteristics of the particles such as: particle size, morphology, surface area, density, porosity, electrostatic charge, hardness etc. Several external or environmental characteristics may also influence the powder characteristics, which can show different and unexpected behaviours. For example, the same powder can flow or not flow according to the degree of consolidation, aeration, humidity, etc. If you are facing such issues, contact us to understand how powder rheology can help you!

Physical properties of excipients influence the stability, bioavailability, and processability of the dosage forms. Alfatestlab is equipped with all the analytical techniques necessary to support you in choosing the right excipient for your formulation: particle size, particle shape, flowability, density, surface area and much more!
Silica is one of the most complex and most abundant families of materials: sand, quartz, silica gels, precipitated silica, fumed silica, colloidal silica, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs)... Any type of silica material finds specific applications and needs specific physical characterization!
There is a direct correlation between the physical properties of the powder on the one hand and the performance of the process and the properties of the final components on the other. Therefore, characterisation of the powders allows for process optimisation and improves the finished product.
Characterization of the API solid state is key to reduce possible future manufacturing or formulation issues and cut drug product development costs and time. Discover more!
Due to its high degree of microporosity, one gram of activated carbon can reach a surface area of 3,000 m2 as determined by gas adsorption. Discover more about its extraordinary properties!
A good understanding of powders behaviour allows you to optimize productivity and improve product quality. Freeman Technology's FT4 powder rheometer is the best technique to understand and resolve powder flow issues.
