The BINDER FDL 115 with silicone and dust-free inner chamber, as well as symmetric airflow dries specimens containing solvents and thus this safety drying oven meets all EN 1539 requirements.

The BINDER incubator of the BD series with natural convection is the specialist in long-term and stable continuous operation. This incubator is specially designed for gentle incubation of organisms, as well as conditioning of heat-sensitive media or microbiological heating. Plus, compared to similar incubators, the units from BINDER boast high levels of temperature accuracy, excellent usability, and options for ease of cleaning. The incubator with natural convection guarantees results that are reproducible at any time, with uniform incubation conditions even under high batch throughputs in long-term operation. These incubators are ideal for all incubation processes within the fields of research, production, and quality assurance.

The BINDER incubator of the BF series with mechanical convection is suitable for all gentle incubation applications, particularly under a full load and large batch throughputs. This incubator is extremely homogeneous and has quick recovery times. This BINDER incubator with forced convection is energy efficient, so is also extremely economical during operation.

BINDER VDL series safety vacuum drying chambers ensure maximum safety when drying organic solvents.

Attension® offers leading contact angle and surface tension solutions for industrial quality control and R&D as well as for academic research. The core of Attension solutions is a combination of easy-to-use, smart instrumentation with broad surface science capabilities.

Measurements

• Static contact angle
• Dynamic contact angle
• Roll-off angle
• Surface free energy (SFE)
• Surface tension
• Interfacial tension
• Batch contact angle
• Roughness corrected contact angle
• Interfacial rheology (viscoelasticity)

Technology

An optical tensiometer records drop images and analyzes the drop shape automatically. The drop shape is a function of the surface tension of the liquid, gravity and the density. On a solid, the drop shape and the contact angle also depends on the properties of the solid (e.g. surface free energy, topography). The captured image is analyzed with a drop profile fitting method in order to determine contact angle and surface tension. Surface free energy can be calculated by performing contact angle measurements with several known liquids.

As an optical method, the measurement precision of optical tensiometers depends on the quality of the pictures and the analysis software. Attension Optical Tensiometers utilize a high quality monochromatic cold LED light source to minimize undesirable sample evaporation. Image quality is guaranteed by a high-resolution digital camera, quality optics and the accuracy of the drop fitting method.
