Speed and Accuracy |
Measure water activity in 5 minutes or less ( average read time : 2.5 minutes ) with ±0.003 aw accuracy. AquaLab instruments are the fastest, most precise water activity meters available. |
Use ( Almost ) Anywhere |
Water activity meters must report a temperature because water activity is temperature dependent. Internal temperature control lets you set a measuring temperature between 15º - 50°C and use the instrument anywhere-even outside the QC lab. |
Use the AquaLab Water Activity Meter 4TE to get lab-quality measurements at the line, receiving dock, processing plant, storage facility-anywhere you need to test and verify the safety and quality of your products and ingredients. |
How it Works |
Put a 7.5 ml product sample in a disposable cup, place in the water activity meter, seal the sample chamber lid over the sample, and wait for vapor equilibrium. |
An infrared beam focused on a tiny mirror determines the precise dewpoint temperature of the sample. That dewpoint temperature is then translated into water activity. |
Easy to Clean |
The sample chamber lid flips up so contaminated sensors are quick to spot and easy to clean. |
Secure Data |
The AquaLab Water Activity Meter 4TE stores time, date, and user information with every measurement and calibration, and can store up to 10,000 secure data points. |
Administrative functions can be set to control access to data. Designate up to 25 unique users and passwords. Use the RS-232 serial data port to download or print data for statistical analysis and to maintain compliance records and archives. |
