LUM GmbH expands Chinese sales network due to strong demand

Strong demand from the pharmaceutical and semiconductor sectors Leads to expansion of the Chinese sales network. LUM GmbH and Alpharmaca Inc. start working together in February.
In February 2025, LUM GmbH began a strategic sales partnership with the Chinese company Alpharmaca Inc., based in Shanghai, in order to meet the strong demand from the pharmaceutical and semiconductor sectors and also to provide customers with a high level of local expertise in solving their questions in the area of particle and direct dispersion characterization and materials testing.

Founded in 2010, Alpharmaca is a resource platform that serves China’s industrial 4.0 industrialization and upgrading, introducing leading technologies and products from abroad. Alpharmaca focuses on the field of nanoscopic technology from the starting point of the pharmaceutical industry and has a business coverage of biological, pharmaceutical, chemical, semiconductor, coatings and other industries, as well as universities, research institutes and other institutions.

Susanne Lerche-Merchant, CEO of LUM GmbH, “With this new partnership, we are strengthening our market presence in important future industries with specialized expertise to the benefit of our existing and future customers. With the LUMiSpoc single particle counter, we offer solutions for particle counting and determination of particle size distribution for the pharmaceutical industry, which were also used in COVID vaccine development in Europe, as previously reported.

Grinding and polishing pastes and suspensions and their particle characterization as well as their stability assessment in the original concentration are extremely important topics in the semiconductor industry, which determine the “welfare and woe” of, for example, silicon wafers. We are pleased that the experts at Alpharmaca will be using both the LUMiSpoc and the LUMiSizer in their application laboratory in a few days to give customers different perspectives on the samples. The new collaboration is a further step in the continuous development of our international strategy. “

Company information

LUM GmbH
LUM GmbH
LUM GmbH was founded in 1994 by the Managing Director Prof. Dr. Dietmar Lerche as innovative development, production and service corporation. The headquarters are located in Berlin, Germany. The company has an office and application laboratory in France and three subsidiaries: LUM Corporation, USA, LUM (Changzhou) Instruments Co. Ltd, China, and LUM Japan Co., Ltd. LUM GmbH consists of a highly qualified, multidisciplinary team of scientists, technicians and engineers. Scientific and measurement-technology expertise has been obtained for decades in: •Particle characterization •Analysis of suspensions and emulsions, including stability evaluation •Determination of adhesive and bonding and strengths •Quality assurance and process optimization. This knowledge and its continuous extension form the basis for customer-oriented problem solving, product developments and services for our national and international customers, working in larger industrial, food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical enterprises and increasingly in the academic sector. The innovative analytical instruments “made by LUM“ are part of standard laboratory equipment in many R&D and QA/QC departments. LUM instruments enable our customers successfully to develop and formulate new and improved products and introduce them onto the market, following our slogan “The Next STEP in Dispersion Analysis and Materials Testing“.

Tools for nano scientists
Particle characterization of energy storage materials with analytical centrifugation on the way to a successful energy transition CENIDE is a research center representing the main research area ”Nanoscience” of the University of Duisburg-Essen. The experience of more than 85 working groups spreads across our six research areas [1]. This year, CENIDE is once again honouring young researchers with the “CENIDE Best Paper Award”. The nominated papers must be published in an international peer-reviewed journal in 2023 or 2024 and must not have already been awarded the “CENIDE Best Paper Award” [2]. The paper ”Key Control Characteristics of Carbon Black Materials for Fuel Cells and Batteries for a Standardized Characterization of Surface Properties” by Amin Said Amin et al., published as open access in Particle and Particle Systems Characterization, (Early View), [3], won the CENIDE Best Paper Award 2024. LUM GmbH warmly congratulates. First author Amin presented partial results in June at the International Conference for Dispersion Analysis & Materials Testing (ICDAMT 2024, Berlin)

Pigments & Extenders for E-Mobility–LUM contributes to standardization
Prof. Dr. Dr. Dietmar Lerche reported on the topic: Analytical techniques to address optimization and quality assessment along the development and.. at DIN e.V. In October, a workshop on Pigments and Extenders for E-Mobility took place at DIN e.V. in Berlin. The DIN Standards Committee Pigments and Extenders (NPF) has the task to carry out the standardization in the field of pigments, dyestuffs (excluding dyestuffs for textiles) and extenders and to assure the representation of national interests at international and European levels. The NPF leads the secretariats of ISO/TC 256 ”Pigments, dyestuffs and extenders” and of CEN/TC 298 ”Pigments and extenders”, which are responsible for the international respectively European standardization of pigments and extenders. [1]. LUM has been actively involved in ISO/TC 256 for years. E-mobility is a central aspect of the global shift towards sustainability, which highlights the importance of climate protection, circular economy and environmental protection. As raw materials and additives, pigments and fillers play a crucial role in the development of e-mobility solutions and

Testing the adhesive strength of cathode & anode coatings Application of the LUMiFrac® for testing the adhesive strength of cathode & anode coatings in lithium-ion batteries
Testing the adhesive strength of cathode & anode coatings
Application of the LUMiFrac® for testing the adhesive strength of cathode & anode coatings in lithium-ion batteries In a lithium-ion battery, the smallest unit of each cell consists of two electrodes (anode and cathode), and the separator. The ion-conducting electrolyte is located in between. Typically, the main component of the anode is graphite, which is excellent for storing lithium ions during charging. However, graphite’s limited electrical conductivity can cause inefficiencies in charge and discharge cycles. To boost the anode’s performance, the coating system is applied to a thin copper foil. The copper foil enhances electrical conductivity which facilitates the electron flow between the anode and the rest of the battery, including the cathode. As a result, the battery’s internal resistance decreases, leading to more efficient charging and discharging processes. This translates to higher power output and better overall performance. The coating system prevents corrosion of the copper foil, ensures stability, and maintains electrolyte compatibility. The active material
