'Movie' sequence at 360 frames per second allows analysis of drop shapes and penetration of liquids into porous surfaces such as pharmaceutical powders
Rapid processes are detected, recorded and evaluated with the high-speed version of the Kruss DSA10HS drop shape analysis system.
The operator can observe the drop shapes recorded at up to 360 images/second after the measurement in the so-called movie sequence and have them automatically evaluated.
The penetration of liquids into porous surfaces such as pharmaceutical powders, paper, membranes, or building materials is now easily accessible for measuring purposes.
The process of producing and applying the test liquids has been automated to a large degree: liquid selection, lowering the dosing needle, dosing volume and illumination intensity are all computer-controlled.
The automation of these processes ensures the high reproducibility of the measuring procedure and therefore also of the results.
The new dosing modules with two or four test liquids can be equipped with conventional dosing needles as well as with disposable needles.
Storage containers integrated into the dosing system allow the syringes to be filled automatically.
