Product Overview

The KRUSS Tensiio Force tensiometer is a new generation, universal tensiometer for liquid and solid surfaces. Designed to be modular it offers intuitive operation with a touch display and additional options that can be tailored to suit future changing laboratory needs.

The high-resolution force sensor provides high precision and is capable of measuring low interfacial tensions and even wetting forces at single fibers. The positioning system for the sample stage has the largest dynamic range to date in the segment of tensiometers based on force measurement. To save time before and during each measurement, the sample stage of Tensíío moves particularly fast while preventing premature sample contact using preprogrammed standard positions. The sample stage can also move very slowly, minimising any vibration when studying high viscosity liquids.

Measurement preparation is simple thanks to the spacious, easily accessible sample chamber and the built-in stirrer and integrated temperature control up to 300 °C. Additional options expand the possibilities for analyses of solid surfaces. An optional ioniser helps to remove interfering static charges while the optional high-resolution camera records what happens at the contact area at the liquid surface. It can measure the adhesion between a drop and a solid surface while analysing the drop optically.

ADVANCE software offers several different approaches of analysing surface and interfacial tension, each one carried out automatically using prepared and adaptable programs. Users can also create their own methods using the flexible and intuitive automation programming toolbox.
