Water Quality Test / Food Sanitary Control
Water Activity Analyzer AW-Multi
Water activity is the critical parameter for food quality and safety of various products from foods to pharmaceuticals. Water activity measures the amount of “free” water in a product, the water available for microbial growth and chemical reactions, making it possible to predict product stability, shelf life, and safety.
AW-Multi is a water activity analyzer designed to measure multiple product samples simultaneously. With AW-Multi, water activity of up to 16 samples can be measured.
【Features】
●Measures up to 16 samples simultaneously.
*AW-Multi main unit board with 8 sample port also available.
●Custom software available
●Uses the same Sensor-equipped Sample Container as the model AW-1
●Alarm to notify the measurement completion
●Two modes of measurement: Stability Mode and Quick Mode
●Automaticaly stores measured data on PC in CSV format
(Compatible operating systems: Windows 10, 11)
【Application】
●Food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agricultural fertilizer industires
●Educational and research institutions
●New product development and prototype evaluation
●Quality control of raw materials and manufacturing processes
●Pre-shipment inspection
【For accuracy verification before measurement】
"Introducing Saturated Salt for AW (water activity)"
*For more compact size and a sigle sample measurement, Water Activity Analyzer AW-1 is available.
