X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) images enable advanced particle size analysis, allowing the characterisation of the size, shape, and spatial distribution of particles, pores, or inclusions that make up one or more phases of a material. The material is probed “as is” , i.e. without the need for conditioning. The three-dimensional nature
High-resolution, high-energy X-ray tomography provides non-destructive access to the entire part, including internal areas that are inaccessible to other techniques. NOVITOM has developed an algorithm for comparing the CAD part with the volume reconstructed by tomography obtained on the manufactured part. The image next to this text is a 3D
Microtomography enables the non-destructive detection and 3D visualization of cracks. It accurately quantifies the size, shape, and volume of cracks, including their propagation depth. This volumetric measurement capability allows for the assessment of structural integrity, the monitoring of degradation progression, and the optimization of materials. Essential in R&D, it helps
Which phenomena are decisive in oral drug release from coated tablets? Key findings from a research work by Univ. Lille, INSERM, CHU Lille, Novitom, Merck Sharp & Dohme Through dynamic microtomography, the study revealed the existence of air-filled pores in the core of coated pellets . When the liquid penetrates,
We are enthusiastic to announce the first industrial use by Novitom of the 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗫-𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗫𝗥𝗣𝗗) 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 at 𝗘𝗦𝗥𝗙. Further, we have used it for non-standard powders as samples were metals’ sheets ! X-ray diffraction provides valuable insights into the crystalline structure, phase composition, and purity of
We are delighted to see achievements of a multidisciplinary hard work in the open publication by Clémence Iacconi et al. revealing the “the extraordinary diversity of the textiles, as well as the presence of very rare tablet-woven textiles, hitherto known only from a handful of burials from the period [Iron
On September 13, 2023, Rigaku hosted an episode of its Ask the Expert webinar series, featuring Dr. Awen Autret, R&D Engineer at Novitom. The session, titled “Virtual Tomography – Optimizing Data Acquisition Parameters Without a CT Scanner”, explored how advanced simulation can accelerate and enhance X-ray CT imaging workflows. Dr.
Novitom has developed an original test based on the analysis of the quality of the organisation of collagen fibres. Collagen, which is the main constituent of the dermis, largely determines its flexibility during aging. Two techniques are combined: Atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides spectacular images of the fibres in varying
Congratulations to our colleague Danilo Rosa Nunes, PhD in Pharmaceutical Science! He won thes Young Researcher Award following the competition organised as part of the Lipids and Cosmetics 2022 conference. The awarded work is described in a poster: ”Quantitative structural analysis of Human Stratum Corneum lamellar structure by Computational Simulation of
