Surface Area
Surface area analysis is a common particle measurement methodology that provides data relevant to a material’s adsorption and dissolution properties, as solid particles primarily interact with other media through their surface area. It is possible to determine multiple characteristics of solid materials by assessing the volume of an inert gas that it can adsorb, and the pressure required to push the gas into a porous structure. It is also possible to assess the interaction of gases with the free surfaces of powder particles. Both techniques provide critical insights for manufacturing of dosage form pharmaceuticals.
The Thermo Scientific Surfer is a dedicated surface area analyser that provides ultimate solid particle characterisation through surface area and pore size analysis. The Horiba SA-9600 series is suitable for both single- and multi-point surface area analysis with a range of 0.10 – 2,000 square meters per gram.
