Application overview - Which instrument for which application?





Is it really necessary to have different water activity meters?



Every sample has its own characteristics in terms of ingredients, texture, color and taste.

These in- turn influence the free water and finally the water activity each in a different way. These factors, plus the temperature influence, define the measurement time and the accuracy of the tests. Stable measurement conditions are finally the key to a successful quality control!



Novasina offers three types of water activity meters, carefully developed and designed, offering the most suitable solution to customers’ samples and requirements:-



-

LabMaster-aw: Top- of- the- range instrument with full temperature-controlled chamber. It can handle all types of samples from 0.03 to 1.00aw. Measurement accuracy +/- 0.003 aW.



-

LabTouch-aw: Semi-temperature controlled measurement chamber, optimized for the measurement of aw values in the range of 0.06 to 0.97aw. Measurement accuracy +/- 0.005 aW.



-

LabSwift-aw: portable aw-meter with no sample temperature control, thus environmental (lab) temperature is the measurement temperature. Suitable for low to medium aw-measurement in ranges of 0.11 to 0.90aw. Measurement accuracy +/- 0.01 aW.



-

LabStart-aw: portable aw-meter with no sample temperature control, thus environmental (lab) temperature is the measurement temperature. Suitable for low to medium aw-measurement in ranges of 0.20 to 0.80 aw. Measurement accuracy +/- 0.03 aW.
