DUO: Water Activity + Moisture Content
Get two measurements from one sample—simultaneously
AQUALAB 4TE DUO
The AQUALAB 4TE DUO uses product-specific calibration models to read water activity and moisture content simultaneously, giving you two readings from a single sample.
Best products
Most products with less than 40% moisture (by weight) will work using DUO calibration models. Products with moistures above 40% usually have such uniformly high water activity values that other moisture analyzers are a better fit.
High precision and repeatability
Below 40%, moisture changes affect water activity readings more strongly, yielding high precision and repeatability.
SKALA adds DUO models to any AQUALAB
Add product-specific calibration models to any SKALA-connected Series 4. SKALA uses the appropriate model when the technician identifies a sample.
