Analysis Made Easy as 1-2-3 November 13, 2019; Limketkai Luxe Hotel

In partnership with Malvern Panalytical, this seminar aims to provide information, share knowledge and technologies of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer and Malvern Particle Size Analyzer that aims to help the chemical industry.

The XRF spectrometer is a powerful analytical tool that can obtain useful elemental composition and impurities determination, including purity, heavy metals contaminants and impurities, catalyst and catalyst residues in many products. Following the difference norms, XRF provides better accuracy and precision on analysis. While formulation is critical on final product, Malvern Particle Size Analyzers offers process control and product quality such as measuring the size of powders, emulsions and dispersions, from nanometers to millimeters thus bring stability and quality of the final products produce.

This is workshop is hosted by DKSH Philippines and is free of charge including lunch, training materials and certificate of attendance.
