Can Water Activity Save Me Money
Yes! For a practical example of how measuring water activity in your product development and manufacturing processes can save you money, click here for the benefits of measuring water activity.
Datalogging of Water Activity
Your products' water activity will be affected by temperature, packaging and ambient relative humidity. We offer water activity data logging solutions to help you understand what is really happening to your product over time.
Moisture Content vs Water Activity
The relationship between moisture content and water activity for a given product, at a given temeprature is called a 'moisture sorption isotherm'. Decagon's AquaSorp IG measures isotherms ultra-quick, or see our Isotherm Generation Service.
Which Instrument is Right for Me
There are several tiers of instrument in the Decagon range, from the light and portable Pawkit to the temperature compensated AquaLab 4TE, which is the world's fastest and most accurate aw instrument.
Decagon Devices Inc go to Mars
As part of the Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity Analyzer (MECA) on Nasa's Phoenix Mars Lander (launched on August 4, 2007) Decagon Devices developed an instrument to measure physical properties of the Martian regolith and atmosphere in situ. This probe, called the Thermal and Electrical Conductivity Probe (TECP), will measure regolith thermal and electrical properties, air temperature, windspeed, and atmospheric water vapor.
