The Droplet Lab Dropometer is a unique smartphone based optical tensiometer used to measure the surface properties of materials. The system has been shown to achieve 0.01% accuracy in contact angle measurement with respect to Young-Laplace and polynomial fitting models and an accuracy of 0.001% for surface tension measurements.
The tensiometer is simple to operate, compact and portable. The Dropometer offers researchers and educators the technical capabilities normally found in far more expensive and bulky equipment.
Designed by experts in tensiometry and backed by peer-reviewed research, the Droplet Lab Dropometer is the only smartphone based tensiometer suitable for both corporate and academic R&D.
“The world of surface science simplified with smartphone technology”.
Droplet Lab was founded in 2016 by Dr Alidad Amirfazli, faculty member at York University, and two of his researchers, Dr Huanchen Chen and Dr Jesus L.Muros-Cobos.
Use the Dropometer to measure Contact Angle, Surface Tension, Surface Energy and Sliding Angle Measurements.
Cost Effective
The Droplet Lab Dropometer drastically reduces the initial investment costs associated with tensiometers while maintaining high end features. The system also offers a flexible subscription based plan so you only pay when you need measurements.
Easy to Use
The app at the heart of Droplet Lab is simple and intuitive to use, bypassing the need for expensive user training. With Droplet Lab you can be up and running in less than 20 minutes.
Easy to Assemble
The assembly of similar competing tensiometer systems can be a complex process that has to be performed on-site and at cost by the manufacturer. Droplet Lab offers a device that can be quickly and easily assembled without specific training.
Smartphone Based
The Dropometer Tensiometer is built to work with smartphone technology and so the system doesn’t require the use of additional laptops or desktop computers. The smartphone also adds to the portability.
Peer Reviewed
The Droplet Lab Dropometer is built on patented technology designed by experts in the field of tensiometry and has undergone extensive peer review, ensuring that the system operates to the highest standards.
Portable
Traditional tensiometers are heavy and unwieldy making their transportation a delicate task. The Dropometer is significantly smaller and lighter making it portable and the ideal choice for teaching and fieldwork measurements.
A list of potential applications for the Dropometer are as follows:
Paper & Packaging
Surface Treatment and Coatings of Paints
Coating of Glass
Coating of Metals
Wetting and Coating of Textiles
Surface Treatment of Wood
Coating of Polymers
Coating of Fibres
