The optical contact angle meters of the OCA series are high-precision measuring systems for the characterisation of interfaces and surfaces. They combine high-resolution optics, pinpoint liquid dosing and precise sample positioning to create powerful, reliable measuring systems.
The OCA 25 standard model is the all-purpose system for contact angle measurements and drop shape analysis. The high-performance camera makes it possible to measure contact angles even on adsorbent surfaces such as tissues or powders.
Possible Measurements:
- static contact angle
- dynamic contact angle
- analysis of interfacial and surface tension with dispersive and polar parts
- analysis of surface energy with dispersive and polar parts
- analysis of the viscoelastic modulus
- analysis of the work of adhesion
Features of the OCA 25 contact angle meter:
- sample table manually adjustable in all three directions with high-precision mechanics
- high-performance camera with up to 3250 frames/s and USB 3 interface
- fast lens with 6,5-fold zoom
- stepless manual focus and manually adjustable observation angle
- compatible with the nanolitre dosing system, which can dose drops with a minimum volume of 10 nanolitres
- upgradeable with different environmental chambers for measuring at temperatures ranging from -30 °C to 700 °C
- upgradeable with the TVS TopView Video System, which allows the measurement of contact angles in indentations
- upgradeable with the manual tilting table TBA 360 and the electronic tilting unit TBU 100
- upgradeable with a humidity generator of the HGC series from DataPhysics Instruments
