KRUSS DSA30 B droplet shape analyzer
Multi functional manual instrument for handling various contact angle measurement tasks
KRUSS DSA30B droplet shape analyzer product introduction:
The basic DSA30 droplet shape analyzer is specifically designed for accurate wettability analysis through static contact angle. By quickly and easily replacing solid samples and titration liquids, high-throughput testing can be achieved. This instrument can help you ensure the effectiveness of cleaning procedures or the quality of coating and wetting processes. The optional high-temperature wettability measurement accessories and multiple upgrade options enhance the application range of the instrument.
KRUSS DSA30B droplet shape analyzer product application:
Measure the wettability of plastics, glass, ceramics, wood, paper, or metal
Analyze the effectiveness of hydrophobic coatings and other coatings
Analyze surface cleanliness
Wetting analysis under temperature control
Measurement method of KRUSS DSA30B droplet shape analyzer:
Contact angle of liquid droplets on solid surfaces
Measure the contact angle between the bottom of the solid material immersed in the liquid phase and the bubbles

Manual precise measurement, allowing for quick replacement of liquids
The fine-tuning manual sampling module of DSA30B can accurately adjust the droplet volume to obtain results with good comparability. This ensures high reproducibility of droplet size and allows for good comparison of results. The replaceable syringe can quickly switch between different liquids, enabling high-throughput testing.
High quality optical products, high imaging quality, reliable droplet shape analysis
The DSA30B has a high-resolution camera and high-quality zoom lens, which can accurately display the optimal size of droplets. The high image quality achieved through this can accurately measure the contact angle. The intelligent image evaluation algorithm combined with ADVANCE software can provide accurate results for droplet shape analysis using this instrument.
Multiple accessories and upgrade options
In addition to various accessory options, such as temperature control devices, we offer multiple upgrade options for the DSA30B, which can be upgraded to standard (S) and expert (E) unit configurations. A software controlled titration module that includes up to four types of test solutions, as well as manual or even automatic horizontal and vertical sample positioning modules.
Top automated titration technology
The fully automatic multi titration unit is a component that integrates automatic replacement and positioning functions, and can be equipped with up to three titration units simultaneously. Combined with a software controlled titration scheme, the system can achieve automatic and rapid surface free energy measurement through up to four liquids. In addition, the fully automatic multi titration unit also integrates temperature controlled titration units and other special solutions.
