3 Scenarios When Density of Microspheres Matters in Research
When is the density of microspheres important? Density of microspheres controls the buoyancy of each particle and its behavior in a system or process. Let’s look at three scenarios: (1) suspension of microspheres in a specific fluid, (2) fluid flow, performing flow visualizations, or particle image velocimetry, and (3) simulation
Overview of 2019 Quality Show – Quality Management in Laboratories and Manufacturing Operations
By Allen Licha, PMP, Cospheric LLC Last month Cospheric attended the Quality Show in Rosemont, IL. As a global supplier of precision spherical particles, striving to provide the highest quality microparticles on the market, quality is a huge part of what we do at Cospheric. Performing accurate measurements is vital
Are Microplastics Toxic to the Environment? Literature Review
What are microplastics? Microplastic (MP) is a broad term used to describe microscopic plastics with sizes ranging from 1um to 5mm1. Anything less than that can be considered nanoplastic (NP), which is also prevalent in the ocean. The shapes of microplastics can vary from fragments, fibers, pellets, film, and spheres((Luís
Suspension of Hydrophobic Particles in Aqueous Solution – Density Gradients
Fortunately, there is a simple way to overcome the hydrophobic effect. It is called a surfactant, a detergent, or simply ?soap.? Surfactant is a magical molecule that has both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, which coats the particles and helps them mix into water. The same mechanism applies when we use
Particle Dispersion Experiments in Plant Canopies
Fluorescent Microspheres in Particle Dispersion Experiment Fluorescent microspheres produced by Cospheric LLC were used as part of ongoing work to to conduct particle dispersion experiments in plant canopies and study the mechanisms of fungal epidemiology in vineyards. The University of Utah in collaboration with USDA Labs in Corvallis, OR performed
