2021

Redesigned Turbiscan ^TOWER is introduced, multi-sample analyzer of stability and particle size in concentrated dispersions. With a dedicated TSI Scale screen display, the instrument is a perfect solution for fast formulation ranking and comparison.

2019

Formulaction celebrates its 2000th instrument sale in the formulation industry, demonstrating its leading position in the characterization of the concentrated dispersions.

2016

Launching of a new range of instruments, FLUIDICAM, based on microfluidics. The Fluidicam RHEO is dedicated to viscosity measurements under high shear rates, with an extreme accuracy even at low viscosities, and low sample consumption. 

2016

Launching of the Rheolaser CRYSTAL, a new instrument dedicated to thermal analysis and phase transition detection, based on MS-DWS.

2016

TURBISOFT 2.0 is released, a breakthrough in data treatment and focused on the Turbiscan Stability Index (TSI).

2013

Launching of the Rheolaser MASTER, spearhead of the Rheolaser range, dedicated to gel formation and viscoelastic analysis.

2013

Launching of a new range of instruments for microrheology (Rheolaser™) based on multiple light scattering in dynamic mode (MS-DWS). 

2009

Foundation of Formulaction Inc, American subsidiary of Formulaction, based in Philadelphia.

2008

1995

Gérard Meunier creates the company Formulaction SA and launches the Turbiscan™ MA1000, a revolutionary instrument based on multiple light scattering principle in static mode for stability analysis of concentrate dispersions (emulsions, suspensions, foams).

July 1994

Gérard Meunier develops a new concept of stability analysis of dispersions and registers on May 17, 1994, a patent entitled “Method and apparatus for analyzing the phases of a multi-phase mixture ». This is the first method which enables the measurement of opaque dispersions (emulsions, suspensions, foams), thanks to a backscattering detection system.

1992-1994

Professor Bothorel (Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal, Bordeaux, CNRS) registers a patent about a new way to characterize phases diagrams. This is the first step in the development of a vertical scanner using the transmission to analyse the whole length of a sample.
