FOAMSCAN™ - Sebum Reveals Hidden Differences in Foam Performance

Not all foams behave the same under real-world conditions—even when standard foam tests suggest they do.

In our latest Application Note, we demonstrate how adding a small amount of artificial sebum reveals major differences between two liquid soap formulations that appear nearly identical in conventional foamability tests. Using the FOAMSCAN™, we show how sebum impacts gas capture, foam stability, and bubble microstructure, providing a more realistic assessment of product performance.

Discover why testing foams under application-relevant conditions can uncover hidden formulation differences and support the development of more robust personal care products.

FOAMSCAN™ - Advanced Characterization of Beer Foam Stability and Microstructure

Beer foam quality is about much more than how long the head lasts.

Our latest Application Note shows how the FOAMSCAN™ goes beyond conventional EBC foam stability measurements by simultaneously monitoring foam volume, liquid drainage, and bubble microstructure. Comparing three commercial beers—including an alcohol-free formulation—reveals the physical mechanisms responsible for foam ageing, from drainage to bubble coalescence.

Learn how advanced foam characterization provides brewers with deeper insight into formulation performance, ingredient selection, and process optimization.
