Advancing and receding contact angles are dependent on the heterogeneity of a surface, and are of critical importance in a large number of applications
KSV Instruments announces the release of an automatic tilting cradle for the Cam 200 contact angle meter.
The cradle allows accurate determination of advancing and receding contact angles, and contact angle as a function of tilt angle.
A free Cam 200 software upgrade allows all existing Cam 200 users to augment their system with this new possibility.
The solid sample is held onto the stage using a special vacuum adapter.
Compared with other methods of determining advancing and receding contact angles, the cradle is simple, easy to use and the dependence on tilt angle can provide further information not available by other methods.
Regardless of what you want to measure, the modular nature of the Cam 200 allows you to tailor an instrument to suit your needs, says KSV.
