About Malvern Panalytical

Malvern Panalytical provides advanced measurement and materials characterisation, accelerating innovation and efficiency in R&D and manufacturing.

Malvern Panalytical technologies are used by scientists and engineers in a wide range of industries and organisations to solve the challenges associated with maximising productivity, developing better quality products and getting them to market faster.

Almost every aspect of our modern world has been developed or improved by understanding its fundamental chemical, physical or structural make-up. Malvern Panalytical instruments combine cutting edge engineering with the latest developments in data analytics and AI – allowing industries and researchers to understand the world with absolute precision, from biomolecular structures to quantum dots.

Products and services

Malvern Panalytical’s technologies enable the measurement of parameters such as particle size, shape and zeta potential, biomolecular interactions and stability, rheological properties, elemental concentrations and crystallographic structure. Highly reliable and robust characterisation of these properties is fundamental to predicting how a product will behave during use, to optimising its performance and achieving manufacturing excellence. 

Malvern Panalytical instruments help users better understand a wide variety of materials, from proteins and polymers to metals and building materials.

About Particle Measuring Systems

Particle Measuring Systems (‘PMS’) is the leader in micro contamination monitoring solutions for ultra-clean manufacturers.

PMS specialises in viable and non-viable particle counters and particle counting solutions that measure and monitor contamination levels in clean and controlled environments, setting the standard for cleanroom and clean manufacturing environmental and contamination monitoring and control. Its technology enables customers to make fact-based decisions, improve process yield and comply with changing regulatory requirements.

Products and services

PMS designs, engineers, and manufactures particle, microbial and molecular contamination monitors for selected air, liquid and gas applications. It is a worldwide leader in instrument sensitivity with 20 nm in chemicals and deionised water, and 10 microns in airborne applications. 

PMS provides complete micro-contamination management support for controlled environments and cleanrooms. In addition to equipment, PMS provides software, environmental monitoring, data management, advisory, training, GMP, projects and calibration. PMS also provides advisory services, educational training and information, and application engineers to identify and address customer application issues.

Applications include:

  • Cleanroom facility and environmental monitoring
  • Filter testing
  • In-line particle measurements
  • Process gas monitoring
  • Ultra-pure water monitoring
  • Chemical monitoring
  • Date interpretation & management 
  • Regulatory compliance

About Servomex

Servomex is a global expert in specialist premium gas and moisture analysis solutions. Servomex supplies innovative portable gas analysers through to large and complex process solutions to help its customers meet the challenges of gas analysis.

Alongside its instruments, Servomex provides global customer support, combined with local expertise, to ensure its solutions deliver accurate and reliable gas measurements that help its customers to improve product quality, maintain plant and process safety and meet legislative requirements.

Products and services

Servomex provides gas analysers (for use in both hazardous and safe area applications), gas analysis systems and transducers, combined with a full range of customer support products and services.

Using 14 sensing technologies, Servomex products tell you what gases you have, when you have it, and how you can use that information to improve process control, quality, safety, emissions management or combustion control

Servomex is organised across three applications:

Hummingbird Sensing Technology for use in medical and industrial applications

Purity and specialty – applications for high purity gas analysis including industrial and medical gases, ultra-high purity gases, semiconductor manufacturing or air separation applications

Industrial process and emissions - gas analysis solutions primarily in oil, gas and petrochemicals process and safety applications and the combustion cycle in power generation and manufacturing processes
