Particulate Systems' Instrument Aids in Research Aimed at Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Gas -The combustion of fossil fuels for energy has steadily increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere. Of the numerous trace gases, carbon dioxide is a major component making up the majority of these emissions. Carbon dioxide sequestration involves the capture and secure storage of not only existing amounts of CO₂ in the atmosphere, but emitted CO₂ as well. Since the Kyoto Protocol, concerns over combustion gas emissions have received a great deal of attention. Read more:

Particulate Systems Granted Distribution Rights for the Cordouan VASCO Series of Dynamic Light Scattering Nanoparticle Size Analyzers -The Cordouan VASCO DLS Particle Size Analyzers are unique dynamic light scattering (DLS) nanosizing instruments based on a patented innovative technology developed in collaboration with the French Institute of Petroleum (IFP). The VASCO’s original optical configuration design combines back-scattered light detection and the capability to control sample thickness. Moreover, in most cases no sample dilution is necessary which makes measurements almost instantaneous. With its temperature stabilization feature, the VASCO is capable of measuring particle size in a range from 6 micrometers to 1 nanometer. Read more:
