Turbiscan AGS (Ageing Station)

High Throughput Stability Analyser

High throughput screening is more and more useful to shorten the formulations time-to-market. TURBISCANTM AGS integrates the Turbiscan™ LAB, a robot, a storage station and a smart software for automatic sample handling and treatment. This concept enables an automated management of ageing tests from sample storage at different temperatures to shelf-life determination.

Stability and shelf-life are key parameters in formulation studies. TURBISCAN is the first patented technology to analyse destabilization mechanisms in concentrated media.
Creaming, sedimentation, agglomeration, aggregation and coalescence are detected at a very early stage without dilution nor stress. Stability kinetics and index are provided for an efficient sample analysis.
