AwQuick Mode - accelerated water activity measurement in

    typically 5 minutes

  AwE Mode: conventional water activity measurement with

    automatic detection of equilibrium

  Includes carrying case, sample holder, disposable sample

    cups, humidity calibration standards.

  Optional docking station with external AC adapter for bench

    top use

  HygroPalm AW1 indicator accepts a large choice of probes,

    suitable for the direct measurement of products in bulk and

    other applications.

  Water activity influences the physical, mechanical, chemical and microbiological properties

    of many substances. These include flow characteristics, agglomeration, cohesion and static

    phenomena.

  Typical applications:

     - Food industry

     - Pharmaceutical industry

     - Public health laboratories

     - Research laboratories

  The shelf life of foods, their color, stability, taste, vitamin content, aroma, mold formation and

     microbiological growth properties are influenced directly by the aw value. Temperature, pH

     value and other factors influence the growth rate of organisms in foodstuffs, but the water

     activity (0¡¦1 aw) is often the most influential factor.

  ROTRONIC products for the measurement of water activity feature precise and stable

    sensors which measure over the full water activity range 0¡¦1 aw (0¡¦100%ERH). Digital

    display units feature user programmable units of measurement and serial output of data,

    which, when used in conjunction with our special analysis software produces final results

    in only 4¡¦6 minutes.
