Solids Solutions: specialist in powder and particle characterisation

Solids Solutions is a leading powder and particle characterisation company, with years of experience and expertise in materials analysis. This innovative company offers advanced technologies and analysis to investigate the properties of powders and particles, which is essential for various industrial sectors, such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food and construction. Using high-quality instrumentation and scientific methods, Solids Solutions provides accurate data that helps companies improve their production processes, increase product quality and reduce costs.

Innovative particle characterisation

The properties of solids and powders play a crucial role in a variety of production processes. Examples include the fluidity of powders, the size of particles, and how these particles behave under different conditions. Solids Solutions offers comprehensive services to analyse these properties, including techniques such as particle size analysis, porosity measurement, and surface measurement.

What sets Solids Solutions apart is their ability to measure these properties on a very accurate scale. They specialise in analysing both large and very small particles, including nanoparticles, and provide companies with detailed insight into the structure and composition of their materials.

Nanoparticle analysis: looking at the smallest details

Nanoparticles are becoming increasingly important in technological and scientific applications. They are used in medical devices, pharmaceuticals and advanced electronic components, among others. However, nanoparticle analysis requires specialised knowledge and technology, as they are extremely small – often ranging between 1 and 100 nanometres in diameter.

Solids Solutions has advanced methods for analysing nanoparticles. They use techniques such as Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), which enable them to accurately determine the size, shape and surface characteristics of nanoparticles. These detailed analyses help companies optimise the performance of their products and comply with strict regulations and quality standards.

Granulation: an essential process in manufacturing

Granulation is an important process in many industries, especially in the pharmaceutical and food sectors. The process involves the aggregation of small particles into larger grains (granules) to improve material processability, transport and stability. This is especially important for products such as tablets and capsules in the pharmaceutical industry, where consistency and accurate dosing are crucial.

Solids Solutions offers granulation analyses that help optimise this process. By characterising grain size, grain strength and distribution, they can provide valuable insights that enable companies to refine their production process. This leads to better control over product quality and more efficient processing of raw materials.

Applications in various sectors

Solids Solutions operates in a wide range of industries. From the chemical sector, where the properties of powders and granules often determine product performance, to the medical and pharmaceutical world, where precision and purity are essential. Even in the construction industry, where materials such as cement and concrete are used, analysis of powders and solids can contribute to stronger, more durable products.

Solids Solutions’ expertise even extends to the field of environmental research, where they help analyse particulate pollution in air and water. This enables companies and governments to develop environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions.
