Drop shape analysis device from Krüss, mainly used for free surface energy determination.

The first of our two drop shape analysis devices. We use this machine mainly for determination of surface free energy of solids.

The system is equiped with an revolver that allows dispensing of four standard test liquids. In our case these are water, diiodmethane, ethylenglycol and 1-bromnaphtaline. Furthermore, the system is equiped with a heating chamber that also allows to create an intert gas atmosphere.
