Title:- Making "light" work of Cosmetics Testing.

 Abstract

I will present the latest developments in the use of near-infrared light to measure the stability of emulsions, suspensions, dispersions, and foams with NO sample preparation. Reducing testing times by 50 - 200x ensures that formulation work can be significantly reduced, whilst ensuring an excellent shelf-life. The new TSi (Turbiscan® Stability Index) provides instant one-click comparisons between samples, allowing the rapid screening of new raw materials.Real world examples will be given including product / packaging interactions, as well as the determination of the foamability of different products.

 Biography:

I studied Chemistry at Nottingham University and worked in research and development for 7 years, before moving to technical sales. I have an expertise in using light to measure concentrated systems in both the laboratory and process environments.
