Experience modern methods of particle and dispersion analysis and materials testing for yourself Exclusive additional courses at ICDAMT 2024 On June 10th and 11th, 2024, LUM GmbH will host the next International Conference on Dispersion Analysis and Materials Testing (ICDAMT 2024) in Berlin. Participants are exclusively invited to take additional practical training courses on June 12th at the LUM headquarters in Berlin-Adlershof and thus experience modern methods of particle and dispersion analysis and material testing for themselves. The training courses represent a further training measure for employees of certified companies (DIN ISO 9001 and other relevant standards). European experts from LUM GmbH, Berlin and LUM France each train a maximum of four course participants on the following topics in theory and practice: # Accelerated and real-time stability of formulations - testing methods & strategies, correlation # Comprehensive characterization of battery & energy storage materials # Determination of droplet size, particle size distribution & particle properties # Relative sedimentation time for Hansen Parameters (HSP/HDP) # Analytical centrifugal filtration. Registration for the 2024 conference and exclusive places in the additional training courses is ongoing. All details can be found on the conference website. You can get an insight into the training content of the courses on the LUM-YouTube channel. The conference and courses will take place in English. We look forward to your participation.

To achieve the best filterability for a special application, a filter material with tailor-made structure has to be developed. For the design and dimensioning of filtration processes, a new possibility for filtration experiments is to perform the filtration experiments by means of analytical photo-centrifugation filtration (ACF). It allows a simple & fast membrane characterization and filterability with suspensions of about 1 ml. A special developed filtration cell holds the suspension that has to be filtered, the filter media and as well as the resulting filtrate. By adjusting the instrument parameter by applying different rotor speeds (influencing the applied pressure) at different time stages or temperature profiles during one experimental run makes the design very flexible. In the shortcourse: Analytical Centrifugal Filtration (ACF) LUM GmbH expert Sebastian Boldt will train an exclusive group on 12 June from 9 am to 3 pm. You are kindly invited to join.

In Liquid phase exfoliation, HSP has been widely accepted for its role in solvent selection, where a close match between the HSP values of 2D materials and the solvent is believed to lead to superior exfoliation. We are looking forward to meeting Priyabrata Sahoo from India with this topic during the International Conference for Dispersion Analysis and Materials Testing from 10-11 June 2024. HSPs can provide understanding into integral factors in the meticulous design of electrodes, electrolytes, and other pivotal components inherent to electrochemical systems. Amid Said Amin from Germany will teach us more during the conference. We are keen on learning more. In the shortcourse: Relative sedimentation time for Hansen Parameters (HSP/HDP) LUM GmbH expert Stefan Kuechler will train an exclusive group on 12 June from 9 am to 3 pm. You are kindly invited to join the conference and the shortcourse.

...also among young scientists. Three candidates from Europe and India nominated for the LUM Science Prize YSA in June 2024. Get in touch with the finalists at the conference; you are cordially invited to Berlin. On June 10th and 11th, 2024, LUM GmbH will be hosting the 11th International Conference on Dispersion Analysis and Material Testing (ICDAMT 2024) in Berlin. Prof. Dr. Dr. Lerche, Chairman of the Scientific Committee and LUM Managing Director: “Since 2014, we have been advertising the Young Scientist Award (YSA) for outstanding scientific achievements in the areas of particle and dispersion characterization as well as materials testing and awarding it at the conference according to defined quality criteria. Young scientists from Germany, France, India, Norway and the Czech Republic answered the call and applied for the prize. Three finalists from Europe and India were ultimately nominated by the jury for 2024. They are expected to attend the conference with their interesting results upon invitation. Completely independent of the selection procedure, the overarching theme of particle surface properties and their characterization is excitingly visible in all nominated

Analytical centrifugal filtration (ACF) is an efficient alternative approach to constant pressure dead-end (ultra)-filtration. It is based on photocentrifuges (LUMiFuge®, LUMiSizer®). It is applicable for filter media / membrane testing using pure liquids as well as for the characterization of filterability of macromolecule solutions, nano- and micro-suspensions and -emulsions, extracts, juices, slurries etc. Join the shortcourse on 12 June and learn more from the expert. Perform your own analytical centrifugal filtration. The shortcourse can be booked in addition to the International Conference for Dispersion Analysis & Materials Testing 2024 (ICDAMT 2024) in Berlin, Germany. Maximum four participants for intense experiences. Registration and more details via LUM website.

The partnership between Berlin-based LUM GmbH and the Indian company VENTURE INSTRUMENTATION TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD. (VENTURE) started on February 1, 2024. VENTURE is based in Bangalore, the centre of India’s high-tech industry, in the state of Karnataka. Susanne Lerche-Merchant, CEO of LUM GmbH: “LUM GmbH has been serving the Indian market for more than 20 years and always strives to provide the most comprehensive local support in application development, sales and customer service to the valued Indian members of the global community, including users of LUM instruments. As market and customer requirements continue to evolve, LUM’s range of solutions has continually expanded. The product portfolio is now broader and the knowledge deeper than when the first Indian customers placed their trust in LUM. Together with VENTURE, we would now like to bring all these advantages to Indian customers. After getting to know each other in detail and successfully evaluating the common goals and company premises, the course has been set for the common future in the interests of the customer.” In addition to LUM, VENTURE represent

Analytical centrifugation is also an important tool in quantum dot research Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexei I. Ekimov are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023 for the discovery and development of quantum dots. These tiny particles have unique properties and now spread their light from television screens and LED lamps. They catalyse chemical reactions and their clear light can illuminate tumour tissue for a surgeon.[1] LUM GmbH cordially congratulates this year’s award winners. Since 1998, users in research and industry have been using the innovative analysis devices, made by LUM GmbH, for comprehensive particle and dispersion characterization, for determining joint and layer strengths and for recording product and process parameters.
