Labcell is offering free copies of Aqualab manufacturer Decagon Devices' 16-page 'Managing by Water Activity' booklet.
The full-colour publication contains information of interest to those involved in research, development and quality assurance in the food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries.
The guide begins with an explanation of the critical difference between water activity (ERH) and moisture content, and then shows how water activity can play a key role at many stages in a product's lifecycle.
Case studies illustrate how water activity can be used to solve particular problems, and there is a description of the process by which water activity measurements can be made.
In addition, there is a summary of the features and benefits offered by the Aqualab series 4TE water activity instrument and the Aqualab Duo, which is based on the series 4TE and also provides moisture content readings.
There is also information about the Aqualab vapour sorption analyser, which creates high-resolution isotherms in two days.
Decagon Devices' water activity instruments are distributed in the UK by Labcell.
