Bulk Solids Characterization

The macroscopic, physical properties of a powder pile are the basic characteristics of powder materials. Knowledge of these properties is therefore a crucial factor in powder production, processing and packaging, as well as in the transport, storage and application of these materials.Alongside the large number of measuring instruments for characterizing the microscopic properties of powders such as particle size, particle shape or BET surface area, which can only be used to estimate the macroscopic, physical properties of powders, we offer the PowderPro A1 system for fully automatic and precise measurement.

About us (as of July 1st, 2020)

Since the founding of the Quantachrome GmbH in 1990, we stand for the thorough characterization of particles, powders and porous materials. Starting with instrument sales and an initial focus on instrument service and maintenance, we started off with the (at the time) technologically advanced Cilas-Lasergranulometers as well as the pore and surface analyzers from Quantachrome. In 1999 and 2005 we expanded our product portfolio with the leading analytical instruments of Dispersion Technology and Formulaction respectively. Since 2002, our sales of instruments, technical services and contract analysis have continually increased and the number of employees has doubled since then.

All instruments offered by us are also available in our scientific application laboratory LabSPA (Laboratory for Scientific Particle Analysis) for contract analysis. Experienced technicians are at your service for analysis contracts, method development or extensive laboratory projects. The constant expansion of our LabSPA has led to an increase in customers satisfied with our services. A number of companies have already outsourced their quality control into our LabSPA.

In 2014 we established our own R&D-department and are now offering our very own series of instruments for mixed gas adsorption and vapor sorption worldwide. Under www.dynamicsorption.com you can find scientific publications, posters and presentations available for direct download, supplying you with extensive knowledge about measurement capabilities for dynamic sorption methods. The mixSorb-series of instruments (mixed gas and vapor sorption) is Made in Germany and is already in use in Austria, Belgium, China, Germany, Japan and USA, among others. Our R&D-department is constantly evolving throughout these projects and cooperating with a number of research institutions within certain projects.

Continuity and reliability in the field of instrument services have been a mainstay of our work and over the course of 30 years it has led to high customer satisfaction overall. This is mainly due to the excellent and sustainable work of our highly qualified service technicians. Professional conduct, flexibility and fast reaction times are the base for our efforts in the service department. We will maintain this level of quality for the future by a constant expansion both in local branches and in the number of technicians as well as regular professional trainings and workshops. Above all else, we will stay true to our motto, that as long as spare parts and technological solutions are available and the customer wishes so, we will repair any instrument, no matter how old, which is in big contrast to a lot of other instrument manufacturers.

In the middle of 2018, we began a new chapter in our company history: Quantachrome GmbH & Co. KG became 3P Instruments. This change of name came with a restructuring of our portfolio and a distinct internationalization of our company. Our own mixSorb sorption analyzers for mixture sorption and determination of breakthrough curves is now handled by us worldwide and we became the European headquarters for other instrument groups. This is of course posing a challenge, which we are addressing as a team and in close cooperation with our own suppliers and international sales partners.

We are proud of our independence and flexibility and will offer you perfect solutions for characterizing particles, powders and porous materials in the future as 3P Instruments!

Press information

New Name, same team: Quantachrome GmbH & Co. KG turns into 3P Instruments

Odelzhausen, June 2018

In February 2018, the manufacturer of analytical instruments in the USA, Quantachrome Corporation, USA, was sold. The May 2018 marks the end of more than 25 years of cooperation of that company with the independent German company Quantachrome GmbH & Co. KG and requires a restructuring of the company. Quantachrome GmbH & Co. KG, situated in Odelzhausen, has successfully completed this restructuring and transition by changing into 3P Instruments GmbH & Co KG in a matter of weeks and is on course for future growth.

3P Instruments stands for „Characterization of particles-powders-pores“ and a stronger orientation towards international markets. Company growth in recent years was based on the traditional sales and service model, complemented by increased turnovers in laboratory contract analysis and its own R&D with their own instruments. As a German market leader in the field of particle analysis this success is now to be adapted towards other European countries.

All current terms and conditions for business, sales and deliveries as well as the addresses of the company headquarters and all offices remain valid, only the company name and label will change.

3P Instruments is looking to continue its excellent relationship with customers, partners and suppliers and will regularly report on current developments under www.3P-instruments.com. Sales and laboratory contracts as well as service, maintenance and calibrations will be conducted as before.
