All Eyes on Surface Excellence 2025 Drop Shape | Tensiometry | Foam Analysis

„ Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1893-1986), Biochemist and Nobel laureate All Eyes on Surface Excellence Sometimes the most obvious things need time to take shape in the mind. An example is dewetting – the opposite of wetting – which has been in front of the eyes of surface scientists for decades but has hardly been recognized as an important feature in materials research and in quality control. Since we at KRÜSS invented the Stood-up Drop, it is becoming increasingly clear with how many surface properties and...

ADVANCE Software The software that brings your instrument to life ADVANCE is our solution-focused software which maximizes the performance and versatility of our instruments. It is designed to go the shortest way from planning measurements to obtaining reliable data and analyzing them. As a user of ADVANCE, you especially benefit from its outstanding and growing functionality as well as new standards in intuitive operability. By clearly organizing the context-relevant functions in tiles and avoiding menus and pop-ups, ADVANCE eliminates unnecessary clicks and time-consuming searches for hidden...

ADVANCE l«>1l< The ADVANCE principle The operating concept of ADVANCE follows a universal workflow from preparation to evaluation on which every scientific measurement is based in principle. The software mirrors this workflow organically, thus making operation intuitive. ADVANCE is designed to follow the idea that, however complex a scientific task may be, the tools to solve them should be as easy to use as possible. To master complexity, automation programs can be created using a versatile step-by-step logic with diverse possibilities to group or cycle the steps. To keep ease of use, this logic...

Driving automation further: ADVANCE WebApp and API In quality control, even the most radically simplified workflow of a scientific measurement may still be too complex. This is why we have created the ADVANCE WebApp that reduces operation to setting a sample name and clicking a button. From the browser of any computer, ADVANCE carries out the measurement remotely using a prepared template and responds with a clear passed or failed message for the quality check. With the highly flexible module for custom data field, you can make ADVANCE compatible to your established QC routine. Combined with...

An insight for different instruments The solutions ADVANCE offers are as diverse as the challenges of our customers. ADVANCE works perfectly with a wide range of our instruments to ensure the best user experience, whatever the application. See for yourself. Measure surface free energy (SFE) with just one click: With our Liquid Needle dosing unit, ADVANCE displays and analyzes two dispensed drops in parallel. When controlling a fully automated measurement an SFE determination is carried out within a second. ADVANCE goes beyond collecting raw data and presenting results. Powerful evaluation tools...

Measuring adhesion with the Drop Pull-off method: Our Tensíío uses an integrated camera to combine force measurement and drop shape analysis including contact angle results. The data in the force/distance measurement curve is synchronized with the video image to make the coursy of the measurement absolutely transparent. Analyze several aspects of foam behavior in one measurement: With our Dynamic Foam Analyzer – DFA100, ADVANCE makes it possible to simultaneously measure the amount of foam, its liquid content, and its bubble structure with respect to time. Here, the foam structure is analyzed...

Drop Shape Method Overview | Drop Shape An astonishing fact about surface science is how many problems can be solved with a drop of liquid. Lying on a coated or pretreated sample, it tells you everything about its wettability. A drop at a tip of a needle can give you an exact result of the surface or interfacial tension. If it rolls off at slight inclination, the surface has good self-cleaning properties. To make drops hand over all this information, our instruments for drop shape analysis provide you with a wide range of methods for dispensing drops, capturing them in video images, and evaluating...

Drop Shape 3D Contact Angle - Ayriis® Tasks and applications ■ Quality assurance of cleaning steps as well as pretreatment and coating processes ■ Determination of the wettability of solid materials before coating or bonding ■ Testing the effectiveness of hydrophobic coatings ■ Mobile measurement on large workpieces and finished products such as automobile parts ■ 3D Contact Angle of water within seconds ■ Clear result validation using custom-defined quality limits ■ Easy definition and selection of sample types

Surface QC has never been so easy and reliable Getting rid of any user intervention and result interpretation whatsoever, our Ayriis uses groundbreaking technology for perfectly reliable QC checks of wettability. With just one click and in seconds, the 3D Contact Angle of water is measured and auto-validated with a simple passed/failed message using preset quality limits. The highly advanced 3D drop projection technique of Ayriis provides for automatic self-checking of consistency and plausibility of each result. As a mobile, stand-alone instrument with easy-to-exchange rechargeable batteries...
