Graintec launches new Aqualab Water Activity meter

The brand new Aqualab Series 4 water activity meter will be available for purchase in Australia from Graintec Pty Ltd from September 2008.  The new intuitive menu navigation, easy to clean sensor area and data storage will provide increased functionality and utility for lab operators.
A continuation of the industry standard AquaLab Series 3, the Series 4 TE and TEV is unveiled after years of research and development. The redesigned open sensor block forms a vapor seal around samples during testing and enables cleaning with¬out any instrument disassembly. The internal data storage allows for compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 (login and time-stamped data storage capabilities). AquaLab 4 TEV also features Decagon’s Integrated Sensor Block, the only instrument in the industry to allow push-button toggling between dewpoint and capacitance sensors.
Mr Ron Leaman, Director of Graintec Pty Ltd, is delighted to offer the new model to the Australian market.  “The open sensor block is a huge plus with the Series 4, making it easier to insert and remove samples.  “The vapour seal element will help keep the unit clean and therefore the operator can better maintain accurate readings.”  Mr Leaman highlighted that the menu screens are very easy to navigate.  “The operator has access to more features such as recording the length of time to measure a water activity reading and the ability to store huge volumes of data.”
