Spinning drop tensiometer
SITE100 KRÜSS

Microemulsions are gaining ground wherever organic phases are to be mobilized by aqueous ones: for the bioavailability of drugs, tertiary crude oil exploitation, restoration of water, solvent-free degreasing or also for emulsion polymerization. The Tensiometer SITE100 from KRÜSS helps in the development of mini-emulsions and microemulsions as a specialist for extremely low interfacial tensions.

Thanks to 25 year’s experience with spinning drop tensiometers, KRÜSS has been able to improve operating comfort even further: illumination and speed can be set by manual controllers or also via the software. The instrument is equipped with a high-resolution USB camera and interchangeable lenses for various measuring ranges. Speeds of up to 20,000 min-1 can be preset with great accuracy. Interfacial tensions down to 10-6 mN/m can be reliably measured. The control and measurement of the temperature, which is important for emulsion properties, is just as accurate.
