Dynamic Contact Angle Analyzers: large or small samples.(Brief Article)

From: Laboratory Equipment | Date: September 1, 2001 | Copyright information

Dynamic Contact Angle (DCA) analyzers are available in two models for a variety of sampling requirements. The units provide information on contact angle, surface tension, surface energy, wicking and absorption for solids and powders. For large and heavy samples, the Radian 315 accommodates up to 100 grams with a sensitivity of one microgram. For small samples, the Radian 322 provides weight resolution down to 0.1 microgram permitting the analysis of ...
