See Live Demonstrations of Water Activity Instruments, Refractometers and pH Meters at Food & Drink Expo 2016

Labcell will be on stand F118 at Food & Drink Expo 2016 to present its comprehensive range of water activity instrumentation, together with refractometers and pH meters. Throughout the exhibition Labcell’s specialists will be giving live demonstrations of the instruments and discussing applications with visitors.

Much of Labcell’s stand will be devoted to the Decagon Devices AquaLab family of instruments for measuring water activity and moisture content, and for generating moisture sorption isotherms. Visitors can see the AquaLab Series 4TE, which is the latest version of Decagon’s benchtop instrument for making accurate measurements of water activity in less than five minutes. Also on show will be the AquaLab Series 4TEV that also benefits from a capacitance sensor for use with samples containing propylene glycol, ethanol and other volatiles. A third member of the AquaLab family on show is the AquaLab Duo that is believed to be the only instrument of its type that can measure water activity and water content simultaneously.

The AquaLab TDL water activity analyser can be used with virtually any solid, powder, paste or liquid. The AquaLab TDL features a tunable diode laser (TDL) for very precisely measuring water vapour in the headspace above the sample.

Visitors requiring a portable water activity instrument that still provides good accuracy can request a demonstration of the pocket-sized Pawkit. With the added advantage of being very economically priced, this compact instrument is still highly capable; readings are obtained in just five minutes, with a resolution of 0.01 aw over the measuring range of 0 to 1.00 aw.

The latest generation of AquaLab VSA is an easy-to-use benchtop instrument that generates complete moisture sorption isotherms in just two days, with its patented Dynamic Dewpoint Isotherm (DDI) technology delivering high-resolution, accurate adsorption and desorption isotherms containing over 100 points on each curve.

Labcell markets and supports a portfolio of digital refractometers manufactured by Atago and Bellingham + Stanley. Customers can choose from general-purpose instruments for measuring dissolved sugar and/or salt, and models developed for specific applications such as evaluating the moisture content of honey.

Labcell will also present several high-quality handheld and benchtop instruments for measuring and monitoring pH, each of which has been developed to meet a specific market requirement.
