Make the best use of your instrument with our all-around service including application advice and a fast lane to our technical support. Never worry about repairs, downtimes, missing new functions – not even about damages you may inflict! Available in almost all European countries.
To save time before and during each measurement, the sample stage of Tensíío moves particularly fast while preventing premature sample contact using pre-programmed standard positions. Or it moves extremely slow with hardly any vibration if you need it to, for example when analyzing high-viscosity liquids. Measurement preparation is easy thanks to the spacious, perfectly accessible sample chamber and the built-in stirrer and temperature control. The large, integrated touch display simplifies operation and obviates any external control pad, thus sparing lab space. Speaking of which, no external thermostat or controller is required when we equip your Tensíío with integrated temperature control up to 300 °C.
Tensíío comes with 15 different approaches of analyzing surface and interfacial tension, wettability, and many other properties of your liquid samples or your solid bodies, powders, or fibers. Each one is carried out automatically using prepared and adaptable programs in the ADVANCE software. Further methods, which can be added anytime later, are being developed as you read this.
Even more is possible when the optional high-resolution camera records what happens at the contact area at the liquid surface. Measure the adhesion between a drop and a solid surface while analyzing the drop optically – or even create your very own method using the flexible and intuitive automation programming in ADVANCE as a toolbox.
Sample chamber illumination for easier preparation may be familiar to you. What is surely new is a tensiometer signaling whether the measuring result lies within a certain limit using green or red light. This is just one of the many ways to incorporate tri-color illumination into your automated measurement sequence.
Yes, there is this top-class, high-resolution force sensor. And there is the most accurate height detection for the sample stage and a large selection of methods. But maybe you only have one specific task that just requires moderate force precision within certain specifications. Or you may not want to analyze wettability, so there is no use of a height sensor. To make Tensíío the right solution for you – and the one adapted to your budget – there are countless options to customize the instrument. And it is always possible to upgrade Tensíío subsequently if your tasks grow. Just tell us what you need!
When a product makes you say: “They thought of everything!”, then users have been closely listened to, or, as with Tensíío, were even involved in the development. Tensíío has all the small details that add up to maximum convenience. Take the bottom plate of the sample chamber, which can be easily removed for cleaning, for example. Or the electronic levelling assistant, which helps you set up the instrument properly. Or the removable side doors for comfortable access to the sample chamber. You can even equip Tensíío with an ionizer to automatically dispose of electric charges that otherwise often interfere with analyses of solid samples. All in all, we have taken care that working with Tensíío comes with a highly positive user experience.
Our specially developed Micro Dispensers equip Tensíío for measuring the critical micelle concentration (CMC) with the utmost precision. The surfactant concentration range is set up and then measured fully automatically.
