The Manchester Materials Science Centre at the University of Manchester and UMIST are conducting leading-edge polymer science research using a BI9000AT light scattering correlator (Plate 11) and DCP disc centrifuge, both from Brookhaven Instruments Limited. Peter Lovell, Professor of Polymer Science,acted on recommendations from people already using the equipment:
The good service and back-up offered were a further incentive to buy from Brookhaven. We bought the BI9000AT correlator some time ago to replace an older,simpler photon correlation spectrometer and the disc centrifuge a few years later to complement it. The instruments are particle characterisation tools that support my research group and the high quality results we obtain have enhanced our research effort and capability. The DCP provides extra information on particle size distributions, especially when the distribution is broad and extends into sizes above 1 micron.
Professor Lovell continued:
The reliability of the instruments is an important factor when you consider the under-financed climate academics have worked in over the past decade. I believe that, of all the instrument companies I deal with, Brookhaven provides the best back-up advice and service around it really is excellent and second to none. When you take into account the fact that its instruments are excellent too, this makes for a very compelling package.
