Hiden Isochema Ltd.
Hiden Isochema manufactures a wide range of high
quality instruments for the characterization of vapor sorption
and MVTR (Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate) properties in pharmaceutical
materials. Our IGAsorp uses the GVS technique (Gravimetric Vapour
Sorption also known as Dynamic Vapour Sorption) and is designed
to characterizae water and organic vapor sorption isotherms, investigate
hydrate phases and deliquescence, detect and quantify amorpous
phases and measure kinetics such as diffusion rates and Moisture
Vapour Transmission Rates (MVTR's). Additionaly, Hiden Isochema's
IGA range of instruments can measure the propellant interation
with inhalation products using the vacuum method. For more information
please see our website www.HidenIsochema.com.

X-Ray Systems
Hecus M.Braun
is a leading developer and supplier of instrumentation for X-ray
scattering. The product line includes industrial-standard camera
systems for simultaneous small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering,
both for nanostructural phase property mapping / high-throuput
screening in the R&D laboratory, and for on-line, continuous
process control in chemical production. Customer support includes
special training courses and expert advice with particular applications,
ranging from powders to soft condensed matter, and to macromolecular
solutions.
Jobin Yvon, Inc.
Jobin Yvon has been manufacturing state-of-the-art
optical equipment for almost 200 years. Our present line of equipment
includes a variety of grating-based, spectroscopic instrumentation
for measuring Atomic Emission, Molecular Fluorescence, Fingerprints,
Thin Films, and Raman, as well as spectroscopic building blocks.
The combination Raman/FTIR microscope will be on display at this
meeting. Both these techniques measure molecular and crystalline
vibrational spectra which has proven quite useful in the pharmaceutical
industry. Jobin Yvon is a subsidiary of Horiba that has recently
introduced a micro XRD system that offers 10um spatial resolution.
Kaiser Optical Systems, Inc.
A Rockwell Collins company, is recognized as a
world leader in the production of high-performance holographic
optical elements (HOEs) for spectroscopic, aerospace, and military
applications. The use of our holographic notch filters for laser
line rejection has revolutionized modern Raman spectroscopy. Our
innovative fiber optic probe, imaging spectrograph, and transmission
grating technologies provide a solid foundation for a complete
family of compact, high-performance and extremely reliable instrumentation
- RamanRxn Systems™ family of Raman analyzers.
Micromeritics Instrument Corporation
Automatic analytical laboratory instruments that
measure the physical characteristics of powders and solids for
R&D, QA/QC, production and process control applications. Characteristics
measured include: particle size, surface area, chemisorption,
TPD/TPR, true density, envelope density, pore volume and pore
size.
PANalytical
(formerly Philips Analytical)
PANalytical Inc., formerly Philips Analytical,
is the leading supplier of
X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray flourescence (XRF) equipment.
Our
philosophy is to provide targeted solutions to customers'applications,
from research to process control. XRD solutions include the versatile
X'Pert Pro with new XML software; CubiX Pro and CubiX Fast, the
R&D100 winner for XRD process control.
Quantachrome Instruments
We will be exhibiting our NOVA e-Series high-speed
surface area and pore size analyzer, the latest generation of
our NOVA series. Our representative will be available to discuss
Quantachrome Instruments complete line of particle characterization
instruments using BET gas sorption technologies, mercury porosimetry,

systems, rotating-anode generators; sequential and simultaneous
x-ray spectrometers. In addition to instruments, complete contract
services are offered for x-ray analysis.
SensIR
Technologies
The IlluminatIR accessory for light microscopes
expands a microscope's capabilities to do molecular analysis.
Unlike complex FT-IR microscopes, the IlluminatIR retains all
of the funcitons of the original microscope such as polarized
light, flourescence, and image analysis. Spectral data is provided
which allows the microscopist to identify specimens even when
there is no optical contrast.
Surface Measurement Systems
SMS manufactures and designs state-of-the-art sorption
technology for the physico-chemical characterization of pharmaceutical
materials.
The Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) is now recognized as the leading
moisture sorption analyzer in the field, combining excellent sensitivity
and reliability with the flexibility to add organic vapour, video
microscope and fibre-probe spectroscopy options.
Inverse Gas Chromotography (IGC) is rapidly gaining a reputation
as a powerful technique for measuring the surface properties of
powders. In particular IGC is becoming a preferred technique for
surface energy analysis of batch-to-batch variability in pharmaceutical
manufacturing and formulation.
In addition our latest accessory, the VGI 2000M, allows the control
of humidity on a microscope stage for studying moisture induced
phase transitions. As well as light microscopy, the accessory
may also be used with Raman and FT-IR microscopes, allowing spectroscopic
characterization of different hydration states for example.
