Marisa Fraser-Moreira, Malvern's Marketing Communications Manager for The Americas said, "Malvern's 2012 web seminar programme offers even more opportunities for shared learning, networking and direct contact with technical experts, than in previous years. Past success has encouraged an ongoing expansion of this service. It is clear from increasing audience numbers and feedback that not only does Malvern benefit from liaising with instrument users, but seminar participants genuinely value the opportunity to learn about new technologies, methodologies and applications."

From the basic principles of image analysis, to a masterclass in application specific laser diffraction or zeta potential measurement, Malvern web seminars provide the facts about characterization techniques. From in-line particle sizing for pharmaceutical manufacturing (PAT) purposes, through gel permeation chromatography of polymers, to rheology for personal care products, industry specific applications are also discussed in detail.
