Drop shape analysis device used for dispensing pico liter droplets.

Due to the need for creating droplets smaller than 1µl we purchased together with Joanneum Research this second drop shape analysis device from Krüss.

Equiped with a piezo driven dispenser and a microscope for drop visualization it is capable of measuring the contact angle of water droplets with a volume of only 100pl. The resulting small droplet in the µm size allows investigation of surface patterns and paper fibers and much more.
Similar to the other drop shape analyzer the machine is mainly operated by Nurdogan Gürkan and Gregor Hlawacek.
