`
`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 frst 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 frst step in the development of a vertical scanner using the transmission to
`analyse the whole length of a sample.
