Malvern Instruments’ ISys chemical imaging software is now available as a 64-bit version, to make the most of these powerful new operating systems. Enabling users to visualize multi-dimensional data in simple graphic formats, ISys can handle even the most complex chemical images quickly and efficiently. Thirty-day trial versions of both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions can be downloaded free of charge from Malvern’s Web site at www.malvern.com/isys_download.

ISys software allows researchers to manipulate and work with the huge data sets and image files associated with MIR, NIR, and Raman imaging and chemical mapping. The system also provides a universal platform to import data files from a variety of vendors. Already well established in its 32-bit version, the new 64-bit edition will ensure that the benefits offered by this comprehensive chemical imaging tool can be accessed while harnessing the full speed and power of modern 64-bit architecture.

Malvern Instruments provides a range of complementary materials characterization tools that deliver inter-related measurements reflecting the complexities of particulates and disperse systems, nanomaterials, and macromolecules. Analytical instruments from Malvern are used in the characterization of a wide variety of materials, from industrial bulk powders to nanomaterials and delicate macromolecules. A broad portfolio of innovative technologies is combined with intelligent, user-friendly software. These systems deliver industrially relevant data enabling customers to make the connection between micro (such as particle size) and macro (bulk) material properties (rheology) and chemical composition (chemical imaging).

Particle size, particle shape, zeta potential, molecular weight, chemical composition and rheological properties measurements are now joined by advanced chromatography solutions (GPC/SEC), extending Malvern’s technologies for protein molecular weight, size, and aggregation measurements, and synthetic polymer molecular weight and distribution. The company’s laboratory, at-line, on-line, and in-line solutions are proven in sectors as diverse as cement production and pharmaceutical drug discovery.

Headquartered in Malvern, UK, Malvern Instruments has subsidiary organizations in all major European markets, North America, China, Korea, and Japan, a joint venture in India, a global distributor network, and applications laboratories around the world. For more information, visit www.malvern.com.
