Measure Water Activity and Moisture Content Simultaneously
Decagon's new AquaLab DUO makes it possible to measure water activity and moisture content simultaneously with unmatched repeatability.

To measure moisture content using water activity requires an understanding of the relationship between the two parameters. This relationship, referred to as the moisture sorption isotherm, is complex and unique to each product type. It must be determined experimentally by measuring water content at several water activity values. Decagon's AquaSorp isotherm generator can rapidly generate robust isotherms with unmatched data resolution. Once the isotherm has been generated, it can be loaded into the AquaLab DUO and used to indirectly determine moisture content based on a water activity measurement generated by the AquaLab DUO.

NEW Bench-Top Water Activity Meter for Measuring Volatiles such as Propylene Glycol and Ethanol

The AquaLab Series 3 is Decagon’s standard lab-grade water activity meter. The chilled-mirror dewpoint sensor offers unparalleled accuracy (±0.003aw) and extremely rapid read-time (<5min, including equilibration time).

Leading food and pharmaceutical companies around the world rely on the AquaLab Series 3 and Series 3TE, as do small food companies, university labs, government facilities, pet food manufacturers, and many others. The Series 3 comes with a 3-year parts/labor warranty (the best in the industry).

Reasons for using the Series 3:

• Measurement of samples that have little change in aw with temp.
• Measurement in a relatively temperature stable environment
• Superior speed and accuracy.
