DSA 30 DROP SHAPE ANALYSIS SYSTEM

DSA30 is a robust instrument which can be used flexibly for the precise measurement of contact angle and surface free energy. With high-quality components and various automation options, the DSA30 analyses wetting and adhesion on solid surfaces. Fast measurements and simple operation make the instrument a valuable part of your routine quality control.

DSA30 Series Configuration:

  • DSA30 B: Basic Configuration.
  • DSA30 S: Standard Configuration.
  • DSA30 E: Expert Configuration.
