State-of-the-art optics, precise opto-mechanics, high-resolution CCD detector and associated electronics used in our instrument guarantee error free measurements. Manual dosing of liquids can be done using this equipment. Standard off the shelf syringes can be integrated from 0.4 to 20 ml, from any manufacturer. Compatible with glass, plastic and SS syringes.
Contact angle is the angle formed by a liquid at the phase boundary where a liquid, gas and solid intersect. The shape of the drop is controlled by the three forces of interfacial tension. Static Angle and Advancing Angle are quantitative measures of the wetting of a solid by the liquid, but they can also be used as a quality control measure in surface treatments and surface cleanliness. Receding Angle is a quantitative measure of the adhesion of a solid to a liquid.
