Product catalog summary
Overview
The Drop Shape Analyzer (DSA100) is a versatile instrument designed for analyzing wetting and adhesion on solid surfaces. It offers a range of configurations to suit various measurement needs, from basic to expert setups.
Measuring Methods and Options
  • Contact angle measurement between a liquid and a solid.
  • Surface free energy calculation using contact angles of multiple test liquids with common models.
  • Static, advancing, and receding contact angle measurements.
  • Roll-off behavior analysis on (super-)hydrophobic surfaces.
  • Surface tension and liquid-liquid interfacial tension measurements using pendant or constrained sessile drop methods.
  • Temperature-controlled measurements from -30 to 400 °C.
  • Humidity-controlled measurements.
  • Measurements on inclined surfaces.
Tasks and Applications
  • Characterization of surface pretreatment processes.
  • Investigation of adhesion and stability in bonding and coating processes.
  • Coating substance analysis in accordance with DIN 55660.
  • Wettability checks on various materials like plastic, glass, ceramic, wood, or metal.
  • Validation of surface cleanliness.
Features of DSA100E (Expert Configuration)
  • Automated positioning with three software-controlled axes for complete sample analyses.
  • Robust housing to protect sensitive components and minimize vibration effects.
  • Easy adjustment of viewing angle without changing the drop position in the image.

DROP SHAPE ANALYZER – DSA100-2

Automated positioning for complete sample analyses The DSA100 can be fitted with three software-controlled axes. These move the sample accurately and quickly to all programmed measuring positions. This makes it possible to carry out complete, standardized analyses, which is ideal for quality control. Moreover, wetting can be analyzed dependent on the sample position to check for homogeneity or to assess differences between coated and uncoated areas, for example.
