1 Benchtop Water Activity Meter meyer.ca/product-shocase/aqualab/ Not a "quick mode" reading or an approximation, but a direct measure of ater activity accurate to AQUALAB 4TE Speed and accuracy Measure ater activity in 5 minutes or less (average read time: 2.5 minutes) ith ±0.003 a accuracy. AQUALAB instruments are the fastest, most precise ater activity meters available. Use (almost) anyhere Water activity meters must report a temperature because ater activity is temperaturedependent. Internal temperature control lets you set a measuring temperature beteen 15 and 50 C and use the instrument anyhere even outside the QC lab. Use the AQUALAB ater activity meter 4TE to get lab-quality measurements at the line, receiving dock, processing plant, storage facility anyhere you need to test and verify the safety and quality of your products and ingredients. 1/10

2 Ho it orks Put a 7.5 ml product sample in a disposable cup, place in the ater activity meter, seal the sample chamber lid over the sample, and ait for vapor equilibrium. An infrared beam focused on a tiny mirror determines the precise depoint temperature of the sample. That depoint temperature is then translated into ater activity. Easy to clean The sample chamber lid flips up so contaminated sensors are quick to spot and easy to clean. Secure data The AQUALAB ater activity meter 4TE stores time, date, and user information ith every measurement and calibration, and can store up to 10,000 secure data points. Administrative functions can be set to control access to data. Designate up to 25 unique users and passords. Use the RS-232 serial data port to donload or print data for statistical analysis and to maintain compliance records and archives. Features Fast: ater activity meter gets readings in 5 minutes or less Accurate: ±0.003 a Verifiable ith independent salt standards Repeatable: different users, different locations, same result Portable: eighs just 7 pounds Easy to use: ater activity meter yields precise measurements ith minimal training Secure: offers administrative control over calibration and sample data Proven: used by 80 of the top 100 food companies Specifications Sensor Type Chilled mirror de point Water Activity Accuracy ±0.003 Water Activity Resolution a Water Activity Range a Water Activity Repeatability a 2/10

7 AQUALAB 4TEV 4TEV: 4TE + Volatiles Sensor Add a capacitance sensor to read samples ith volatile compounds, For high-volume readings of volatiles, revie the 4TDL model belo. 7/10

8 Related Products AQUALAB TDL Measure the ater activity of any sample ith the first ater activity sensor completely unaffected by volatiles. The 4TDL is best for measuring the ater activity of volatile products, including soy sauce, alcohols, flavorings, some spices, and black tea. It also orks ell for measuring products ith high concentrations of volatile ingredients (flavored teas, sauces and dressings, pharmaceuticals).
