CMCeeker vs. conventional CMC determination

The Kibron CMCeeker enables, for the first time, high throughput CMC measurements yielding industrial R&D labs significant time and cost savings in the optimization of surfactant-based product formulations.

The following summarizes the key differences between CMC determination by CMCeeker vs. conventional methods:
