DSA100
The new contact angle measuring system generation

Flexible sample size, flexible measuring technique – with its double modularity concept KRÜSS GmbH has revolutionized contact angle measuring technology. No matter what measuring problem you have to face - the DSA100 will grow to meet your requirements. A total of more than 30000 different combinations is available from the DSA100 building block system; any necessary or required degree of automation can be realized in next to no time.

The following technical highlights will make your work much easier:


  • The unique adjustment of the observation angle means that you can always see the drop; adaptation to different degrees of reflection becomes child's play.
  • The fine adjustment of the dosing systems allows simple adaptation of the needle position.
  • The intelligent dosing system permits liquids to be exchanged like lightening without the risk of contaminating the sample.
  • The innovative optical arrangement allows even very large samples to be easily measured with the standard version.
  • The new type of light guidance eliminates all interference by extraneous light.
  • The innovative software supports you at all times with its predefined procedures and wizzards.
  • The flexible sample stage allows individual adaptation to meet the particular requirements.
  • The new type of Peltier chamber gives you the certainty that thermostatting is really being carried out quickly and accurately.
  • The bright illumination with extremely low radiated heat provides you with the light that is required for strongly light absorbing surfaces.

DSA100 - 100% adaption to your reguirements!

How is it possible to measure the contact angle of substances whose liquid drops are brighter than their surroundings? How can the contact angles of glasses, metals and alloys be measured at temperatures far in excess of 1000°C, if necessary under an inert gas atmosphere?

The KRÜSS High Temperature Contact Angle Measuring Instrument DSA10HT can carry out such measurements up to 1900°C.

The image analyzing system of the DSA10HT is characterized by its outstanding image quality under extreme conditions. The heating unit operates in an almost oxygen-free atmosphere. This is achieved by separating the heating element chamber from the working chamber. In addition, work can be carried out under an inert gas or in vacuum atmosphere. A large constant temperature range makes sample handling easier, particularly in combination with the comfortable filling mechanism.

Because of its modular construction, the high temperature contact angle measuring system can be supplied for various temperature ranges, sample sizes and gas atmospheres.
