CI Precision microbalances – maintaining excellent accuracy and stability in experiments

Delft Solids Solutions is a contract research organisation that specialises in the disciplines of Powder and Particle Technology. Experts in all aspects of solid material characterisation and solids handling in processes, they provide experimental aid to clients using high-tech equipment and offer consultancy services to clients to help with any process problems they may face. With over 40 years of experience specialising in powders and granules, Delft Solids Solutions is a trusted partner to organisations in a wide range of industries such as pharmaceutical, chemical and petrochemical, and automotive.

Project Requirements

Delft Solids Solutions needed a highly sensitive analytical instrument that can be used in research experiments for precise measurements of very small amounts of material. As a contract research centre, Delft Solids Solutions needed an instrument that could be easily configured for different experiments and that was also highly accurate in measuring the mass of small quantities of powders and particles to allow for accurate formulation development, material characterisation, analytical testing and quality control.

The CI Precision Solution

Delft Solids Solutions have used CI Precision’s MK2-M5 microbalance for over 4 years and have recently used the balance for sorption studies (CO2, H2O, etc.) as well as desorption studies (NH3, n-butylamine). The microbalance has also been used in TG-MS experiments.

Sample sizes are usually 100mg with particle sizes varying from several μm up to mm. Delft Solids Solutions have also used the microbalance to measure gels. The typical experiment time is 6 – 72 hours and uses a variety of gases.

CI Precision’s versatile, high-precision recording microbalances are ideal for different research experiments as the components are supplied in modular kit form to allow any researcher to build a comprehensive solution that can meet their exact experimental requirements without the need to compromise. Designed to provide exceptionally accurate and microgram-sensitive measurements of weight change, CI Precision’s reliable, robust and compact recording microbalances can be easily integrated into any experimental setup to help researchers reduce costs, obtain reliable results and measure accurately, even at elevated temperatures and pressures.

"Excellent support. CI Precision have been very willing to assist and provide fitting solutions."

(On recommending CIP to others) “Yes, support is excellent and the accuracy and stability of the balance is very good."
