The MagnoMeter XRS™ suite of instruments provides unmatched functionality and unparalleled particle suspension characterisation analyser, at any stage of the formulation or manufacture process, across any industry.
Mageleka’s flagship instrument is the MagnoMeter XRS™ RelaxoMeter, a powerful and versatile next-generation benchtop low-field NMR spectrometer that provides fast, accurate, particle suspension characterisation and solid-liquid interface analysis of dispersions and liquid-liquid interface analysis of emulsions. It is ideal for fundamental formulation R&D, rapid QC of incoming raw materials, and QA of final commercial products.
The RelaxoMeter Flow is ideal for use with heterogeneous suspensions where batch sampling is problematic. Use it to monitor milling processes in real time, and under industry-relevant conditions. Also for investigation of the impact of continuous addition of chemical reactants, and for laboratory studies of process control.
The SedimentoMeter is a simple benchtop device for: determining settling/sedimentation rates of slurries, investigating particle aggregation (coagulation/flocculation), and measuring fast or slow kinetic processes and mechanisms. It is ideal for accelerated aging and shelf-storage studies
Easily exchangeable for different nuclei and/or higher field strength magnets
Phase cycling, composite pulses, two channel RF, and 1D, 2D, and 3D shaped gradients
For use in controlled, hazardous, or radioactive environments.
Four diameters available, from 2mm (highest resolution) to 10mm (lowest resolution)
Easy to use and upgrade PC software and a dedicated dual core ARM9 processor running Debian
Measure materials or products at any stage of the formulation and manufacturing process
The magnet/sample probe assembly – called a MagnoPod™ – is a separate, temperature-controlled unit. This practical feature allows the MagnoMeter XRS™ devices to be operated remotely. Each unit can accommodate multiple MagnoPods™, which adds flexibility and extends the scope of any application. The MagnoMeter XRS™ devices are ideal for use in controlled or hazardous environments, and can be integrated into production equipment. The small footprint saves space in any lab, and the low weight makes it easily portable.
At the heart of the MagnoMeter XRS™ is state-of-the-art NMR technology (patent-pending). It features Direct Digital Synthesis, which incorporates a software defined radio device. Radio frequency generation and detection is done digitally; there are no analogue multiplexing steps in detecting the NMR signal. This next-generation technology provides the MagnoMeter XRS™ devices with exceptional resolution of complex solid-liquid and liquid-liquid formulations at any concentration – and at significantly faster speeds than the competition.
Measurements using the MagnoMeter XRS™ devices are based on the simple and intuitive MagnoSoft™ program, and operation requires minimal training and expertise. The MagnoSoft™ program can control multiple MagnoPods™ from one central control unit, which adds incredible flexibility and eliminates the need to purchase multiple instruments.
The MagnoMeter XRS™ features phase cycling, composite pulses, and two-channel radio frequency and 3D shaped gradients, all customizable by the pulse programming interface of the MagnoSoft™ program. This makes possible 1D, 2D, and 3D imaging, robust self-diffusion measurement (10-9 to 10-13 m2s-1), droplet sizing analysis, polymer characterization in solution and melts, and more.
With the MagnoMeter XRS™ there is no need to change the way you work – or the type of NMR tube you use. It is challenging to fill a narrow NMR tube with a highly viscous fluid, so larger-diameter tubes are needed. Conversely, when sample volume is very low, or higher resolution is needed, a narrow-diameter tube is ideal. Accordingly, the MagnoPod™ can accommodate four different diameter NMR tubes: 2 mm (highest resolution), 4 mm (standard resolution), 8 mm (lower resolution) and 10 mm (lowest resolution).
The MagnoMeter XRS suite of products offers the user a wide degree of flexibilty to meet their individual need. Do you need to measure samples at multiple locations, or analyse multiple nuclei? The MagnoPod™ is easily exchangeable, and convenient additional pods are available for a wide range of nuclei (including 7Li, 19F and 32P). Multiple MagnoPods™ can be connected and driven by one controller, all run by the powerful MagnoSoft™ program. Sometimes the difference between success and failure is a matter of degrees. All MagnoPods™ come standard with a temperature exchanger unit installed. An optional upgrade to a Peltier controlled system is available. Need more resolution? Higher field magnets are available. Talk to us, and we can tailor the MagnoMeter XRS™ to meet your specific needs.
I have been using Meritics for a number of years and they always provide outstanding service and support.
They have a rapid response turnarounds and are very knowledgeable of the techniques and products they provide.

We use Meritics for the PM service and installation of all our FlowCams . Megan has been coming to our site for a number of years. She is very efficient in her work, but most of all Megan is very helpful. We have had issues with one of instruments after the install and Megan did her utmost to try and solve it while on site, even though it wasn’t solved Megan has been in contact with the supplier of the instrument to try and solve this problem for us.

I have used this company through the laboratory I work for frequently. We specialise in soil analysis, and Meritics were chosen as they have extensive knowledge of the instruments we use. We have several laser particle diffraction analysers with a service contract, and service is always very prompt and meticulous….

Meritics have covered the annual servicing of our Multisizer 4e instrument since we purchased it from them just over two years ago. The application scientist who performed the servicing was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful, happily answering a barrage of questions about how best to use and maintain the instrument. All my interactions with Meritics staff have been positive. I would happily recommend them.

Service second to none, both units serviced and all questions answers by engineer while on site.

After owning one of our instruments for over 8 Years which was purchased from Meritics, it suffered its first breakdown. Upon contacting Meritics, I was instantly put through to an engineer who was very helpful. Upon inspection of the manual, it was decided that it would be more cost effective to have a Meritics engineer visit. The Meritics staff were very communicative and kept me up to date.
Lovely, friendly and extremely helpful. David and his team are always on call with advise and are very easy to work with and are always happy to help.

We had issues with one of the aperture tubes provided by Meritics on a Friday afternoon, while very pressed for a review deadline. Meritics handled our inquiries very fast and professionally and helped us out by shipping us their spare tube to use in the mean time free of charge, while we waited for our new tube to arrive. Communication was very pleasant.

I emailed for some technical help and also to get some spares and both the engineer (David) and purchasing (Sophie) were very prompt to respond and helpful. We do have a service contract but I appreciated being able to email the engineer directly.

Used Meritics to conduct particle size distribution by laser diffraction. Service as last time, is very quick, well priced and professional.
I would highly recommend

Always a pleasure to deal with the people at Meritics Ltd. They understand the importance of our work and the fact that our research projects have deadlines that need to be met. Consequently, problems are dealt with very quickly and professionally and they are willing to go that one step further to make sure their supply chain problems don’t become our problems. Thank you to the team for their support. It is greatly appreciated.
