MobileDrop: Contact angle measurement – quick and portable

(openPR) The MobileDrop from KRÜSS is an instrument for measuring the wetting properties of solid samples. Mains-independency and one-hand operation using a notebook makes the instrument a flexible partner for quality assurance – directly on site. With its small base and top view optics the MobileDrop copes with surfaces that previously were hardly accessible:

• Samples of any size – nondestructive
• Curved surfaces
• Inclined and even vertical surfaces

Measurements with several different liquids are simple – thanks to the easily exchangeable dosing head. As soon as a drop is present the software automatically shows the contact angle and, with several test liquids, immediately calculates the surface free energy of the sample – and all this with quickly drawn-up and storable measuring procedures. A check of the quality of the result using defined tolerance limits concludes the measurement. The software includes an extensive substance database and comfortable data management.
