Holmarc’s Contact angle meter Model no: HO-IAD-CAM-01B is an advanced model with automated dispenser, rotatable substrate holder and temperature control. It is a dedicated research instrument.
Additional feature from the Model: HO-IAD-CAM-01A is that this model is equiped with temperature control for the substrate holder (up to 100 degree celsius from ambient). This proves to be ideal for the study of contact angle variations with respect to temperature.
Motorized syringe pump is provided in the equipment for precise dispensing and camera interface for measuring contact angle of liquids on solid surfaces. Video capturing and video image processing features are included in Holmarc Contact angle analysis software.
The surface over which contact angle is to be measured can be rotated through +/- 180 degree from its horizontal position for advanced contact angle study and to find out contact angle hysteresis.
Three chromatographic syringes with 50 micro litre, 100 micro litre and 250 micro litre capacity are supplied along with the equipment.
The wettability of a droplet is also dependent on the substrate in contact with the liquid.
We provide three different substrates along with the equipment - made of aluminium, brass and stainless steel. However, the substrate according to customers’ choice can also be loaded into the equipment.

Contact angle is the angle formed by a liquid at the phase boundary where a liquid, gas and solid intersect. The shape of the drop is controlled by the three forces of interfacial tension. Static Angle and Advancing Angle are quantitative measures of the wetting of a solid by the liquid, but they can also be used as a quality control measure in surface treatments and surface cleanliness. Receding Angle is a quantitative measure of the adhesion of a solid to a liquid.
State-of-the-art optics, precise opto-mechanics, high-resolution CMOS detector and associated electronics used in our instrument guarantee error free measurements. Manual and automatic dosing of liquids can be done using our system.
Standard off the shelf syringes can be integrated from 0.4 to 20 ml, from any manufacturer.
Compatible with glass, plastic and SS syringes.
