Malvern Panalytical

Malvern Panalytical technologies are used by scientists and engineers in a wide range of industries and organizations to solve the challenges associated with maximizing productivity, developing better quality products and getting them to market faster. Our focus is on creating innovative, customer-focused solutions and services to enhance efficiency and deliver tangible economic impact through chemical, physical and structural analysis of materials.  

Underpinned by extensive industry knowledge and technical and applications expertise, Malvern Panalytical instruments are designed to help users better understand a wide variety of materials, ranging from proteins and polymers, particle and nanoparticle suspensions and emulsions, through to sprays and aerosols, industrial bulk powders, minerals and high concentration slurries, and solids, such as metals and building materials, plastics and polymers. 

Our technologies enable the measurement of parameters including particle size, shape and concentration, chemical identity, zeta potential, protein charge, molecular weight, mass and conformation, biomolecular interactions and stability, rheological properties, elemental concentrations and crystallographic structures. Highly reliable and robust characterization of these properties is fundamental to predicting how a product will behave during use, to optimizing its performance and achieving manufacturing excellence.

Malvern Panalytical was formed by the merger of the businesses Malvern Instruments and PANalytical, including the companies ASD and Claisse, on 1st January 2017, and employs over 2,000 people worldwide. The combined entity is a strong player and innovator in the materials characterization market and will leverage the strengths of the individual companies in their end markets, ranging from building materials to pharmaceuticals and from metals and mining to nanomaterials. Applications laboratories around the world and a global sales and service presence supported by a strong distributor network ensure unrivalled levels of customer support.

Malvern Panalytical is part of Spectris plc, the productivity-enhancing instruments and controls company.
