Description

AQUALAB 5TE Water Activity Meter

The AQUALAB 5TE is a benchtop water activity meter designed for laboratories that need dependable results in their daily workflow. Water activity helps teams understand how available moisture may affect product stability, quality and shelf life. It is an important measurement for quality control, product development and research.

Using chilled-mirror dew point technology, the AQUALAB 5TE measures water activity directly from the vapour above a sample. Its touchscreen guides users through testing, while AQUALAB Cloud connectivity provides a way to organise results and review data across instruments.

Key Features

  • Fast, dependable readings: Obtain water activity results in approximately five minutes or less to support timely quality decisions.
  • Direct water activity measurement: Chilled-mirror dew point sensing measures the water vapour in equilibrium with the sample, supporting precise and repeatable testing.
  • Intuitive touchscreen: The clear interface makes it easy to start measurements and review results during routine laboratory work.
  • Flexible data management: Connect with AQUALAB Cloud to review results, manage product settings and access data from multiple instruments. The meter can also operate without an internet connection.
  • Easier maintenance: The removable sensor block provides convenient access for cleaning and servicing.
  • Useful across applications: Suitable for water activity testing in food, pharmaceutical and other product development or quality control laboratories.
