Users report that several features of most conventional ICP-OES spectrometers can cause considerable trouble and expense.  The difficulties can often be traced to inherent weaknesses in the instruments’ design. In older instruments, these may contribute to clearly substandard results. Even in newer spectrometers, if they’re based on traditional technology, problems may persist. Overall, shortfalls most … Read more

With the Liquid Needle dosing technique, KRÜSS GmbH is since recently using a new method of drop positioning for measuring static contact angle. The pressure-based method significantly accelerates the dosing process compared with classic needle dosing. Here, dosing units arranged in parallel produce two drops at the same time enabling measurements of the surface free energy to be carried out within one second. A current scientific study in the journal Colloid and Polymer Science verifies that contact angles are measured accurately in spite of this high speed.
