PCA-1
The PCA-1 is designed to measure contact angles by placing the device on an object. It's hand-held and lightweight, allowing measurement of the following objects in situ:
- Measurement directly on large panels and objects without breaking off sample pieces
- Coating of automobile bodies or building-blocks directly
- Parts of the human body
- Measurement in the field
PCA-1 Explainer
Automatic operation: Push the start button on the device or the software screen to perform fully automatic measurement from dispensing of the droplet to display of the contact angle results.
Liquid samples are prepared in the syringe, which can be easily mounted or dismounted from the body.
The PCA-1 can capture images at 30fps to obtain data for the time function. Surface free energy analysis and surface tension measurement by pendant drop method are also available.
Features
- One click allows fully automatic operations from drop-dispense to image analysis.
- Simple replacement of syringe and liquid sample
- Time-based measurement by image capture of 30 fps
- Surface free energy analysis and surface tension measurement by pendant drop method are available.
- Visible needle tip allows measurement of the target point.
Applications
- Evaluation of cleanliness of large panel and wafer without breaking off sample pieces
- Evaluation of surface modification by corona, plasma, or frame exposure
- Evaluation of the hydrophobicitiy and hydrophilicity of the coating surfaces of automobiles and building-blocks outside
- Parts of the human body
