The Drop Shape Analyzer - DSA100L, a large version specifically designed for automated wettability analysis, is equipped for advanced contact angle measurements and surface free energy evaluations. Housed within an expansive frame, this device accommodates large samples, up to 500 x 500 mm, with its sizeable, rotating sample table and an extended movement axis, facilitating the analysis of substantial surfaces such as touch panels or ceramic tiles.
Applications and Features
The DSA100L is pivotal for the characterization of large pre-treated or coated surfaces and plays a significant role in assessing the cleanliness of windows and frames. Its utility extends to the surface analysis of monitors and touch panels, hydrophobicity analysis of ceramic tiles, and preparation of automobile parts before coating or bonding, making it indispensable in a wide array of industrial applications. This versatility is underpinned by various measuring techniques including dynamic contact angle measurement and evaluation, and the determination of surface free energy using precise drop shape analysis.
Advanced Technology and Software
At the heart of DSA100L’s operation is the ADVANCE software, controlling automated measurements with high precision and efficiency. This software, in conjunction with a high-resolution camera and quality zoom lens, ensures accurate contact angle readings, thereby guaranteeing reliable and repeatable results. The instrument’s software-driven setup enables rapid, automated access to any sample position, promoting high throughput alongside scientific excellence.
