With this instrument you can measure:
Contact angle with a reproductibility of 0.1° on flat, curved and non-horizontal surfaces.
Surface Energy (resp. Surface Tension) of substrate (resp. liquid) to calculate polar or AB, dispersive or LW, monopolar acid and monopolar basic component
Solubility liquid/liquid, Solubility liquid/solid
Wetting envelop
Flux of absorption and flux of evaporation
Contact angle and surface energy at different level of humidities and control fo the saturation of the vapour
Degreasing efficiency of oil on soil or metals
Efficiency of surfactants
Wetting and dewetting efficiency from contact angle hysteresis
Evolution of the contact angle hysteresis versus speed of wetting and dewetting
Studies of the variations of the surface energy components vs the % of modification of the treatment
The DGD-DX is a powerful modular and sturdy scientific instrument dedicated to surface chemistry studies.
Everything has been thought to make the study of the scientist easy without neglecting the cost of the space in a lab.
As shown on the photo, the humidity generator can be placed below the instrument as well as 19" rack computer. The Flat screen is hold with an arm above the instrument to save the space.
Two levels of software are available. The basic one for the beginner in this field and the Visiodrop for advanced user. In this version , you can check in dynamic the volume of the liquid at 0,1µl to be dispensed without the need to get an automatic syringe,you can have a software focus assistance and plenty of other advanced instrumental features in addition of the hi-grade of science for polymerists.
Moreover, the software is very easy to use
Different sizes and temperature controlled chambers are available depending on the application. The liquid inside of the syringe can be regulated in temperature too.
In case of the use with a humidity generator , the chamber will be small 50 mm x 70 mm to speed up the humidity equilibrium. The value of the humidity and temperature is displayed on the results table for a correlation between contact angle and humidity.
A manual Y-axis table is supplied with this chamber to move the sample forward and backward
