Inquiry

Water activity meter AW01-MC is based on the mirror condensation dew point method.

Widely used in pharmaceuticals, food, and other fields to ensure that the risk of microbial contamination in products is controllable.

High measurement accuracy：±0.003aw

Validation and calibration: Inexpensive consumables, no need for tedious and time-consuming sensor calibration

Fast testing speed: rapid and precise temperature control, reducing testing time to within 4 minutes

Features

Working Principle:

The dew point temperature is determined by cooling a mirror in the sample chamber until condensation occurs and recording the mirror temperature at that point. The saturated vapor pressure (P) can be obtained from a table using this dew point temperature. The ratio of this saturated vapor pressure (P) to the saturated vapor pressure (P0) of pure water is the water activity (aw=P/P0).

Mirror Condensation Method： Traceable to international/national basic methods, traceable to the international basic measurement units (SI units)”United States Pharmacopoeia'<1112>recommended methods.
Strong Storage Capacity: Records test temperature, time, and sample information, and can store data for more than 10 years.
High Accuracy: ±0.003aw, making the instrument more accurate.
Data Integrity: Compliant with 21CFR part 11, 3-level user access, audit trails, and various forms of backup.
Low Maintenance Cost: Cheap consumables and no need for cumbersome and time-consuming sensor calibration.
Fast Test Speed: Standard equipped with active temperature control module, fast and precise temperature control, shortening detection time to within 6 minutes.
