Dr Alan Rawle, divisional manager for Applications Support at Malvern Instruments, is currently co-chairman of the characterization group of an ASTM committee focused on nanotechnology.
Dr Alan Rawle, divisional manager for Applications Support at materials characterization company Malvern Instruments, is currently co-chairman of the characterization group of an ASTM committee focused on nanotechnology.
Serving with Alan Rawle in this role is Dr Martin Fritts, senior principal scientist at SAIC-Frederick, based at the National Cancer Institute at Frederick, USA.
The ASTM E56 Committee on Nanotechnology addresses issues related to standards and guidance materials for nanotechnology and nanomaterials, as well as the co-ordination of existing ASTM standardization related to nanotechnology needs (www.astm.org).
Dr Rawle, who is based at the offices of Malvern Instruments, in Southborough, Massachusetts, brings many years experience and expertise in particle characterization to his role as chairman of the characterization group, and is actively involved in defining new standards for nanotechnology applications.
The use of particle characterization in nanotechnology applications is an area of considerable focus and ongoing development for Malvern Instruments.
The company's Zetasizer Nano system has been rapidly adopted around the world for the measurement of particle size, zeta potential and molecular weight in nanosized materials and molecules in solution.
It has applications across all areas of particle characterization and is proving especially suitable for routine screening in protein crystallization studies.
