What is water activity?

Water activity, usually represented as aw, is a measure of free, unbound water that can support microbial growth. It is represented on a scale of 0 to 1, with pure water having a value of 1. It is a commonly used parameter to determine the shelf life of edible products. The instrument used to measure this parameter is called a water activity meter, or sometimes an aw meter.

Key features of AQUALAB 4TE

The AQUALAB 4TE is designed for precise water activity measurement of solid, liquid and powder samples. Its key features include:

Dew point sensor

The AQUALAB 4TE uses a chilled-mirror dew point sensor to measure water activity directly, delivering accurate and reliable results. Its measurement technology supports consistent testing for quality control and product development applications.

Quick measurement time 

The instrument provides water activity readings in approximately five minutes, helping improve sample throughput and reduce waiting time in laboratories and production environments.

Temperature control 

The AQUALAB 4TE allows sample measurement temperatures to be set between 15°C and 50°C. This helps users evaluate temperature-dependent water activity and improve the repeatability and comparability of measurements.

Multi point calibration 

With an accuracy of ±0.003 aw, a measurement range of 0.0300 to 1.0000 aw, and a resolution of 0.0001 aw, the instrument supports precise water activity testing across a wide range of samples.

Data Integrity and Management

The instrument records measurement information, including time, date and user details. Administrative controls help manage access to calibration and sample data, supporting traceability and quality documentation.

Portable and Easy to Maintain

Its compact design allows the AQUALAB 4TE to be used in laboratories, production areas and other testing locations. The accessible sample chamber lid makes inspection and cleaning easier.

Applications of Water Activity Meter

The AQUALAB 4TE Water Activity Meter is suitable for applications across multiple industries, including:

  • Food and beverages: Shelf-life assessment, product stability and quality control.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Product stability studies and quality assurance.
  • Cosmetics: Quality assessment and product stability testing.
  • Research and development: Formulation studies and water activity analysis.
