In a time were water activity testing based on prediction is promoted, we want to remind you of the importance of reliable water activity testing results. Reliable testing needs time no matter the instrument you are using and predictions do not meet standard methods.

You want to measure water activity and don't know which factors to consider when choosing a device?


We made a guide in which we want to show you some factors that you should include in your purchase decision, regardless of device and manufacturer.
You can find the guide in our blog.


Important Factors for Consideration:
Accuracy
Maintenance
Difficulty/Cost of Verification
Sensor Hysteresis
Adjustable Equilibrium
Detect Equilibrium
Measuring Volatiles
Temperature Control
Data Control

Depending on the product, there are other factors that you should consider. But the above criteria apply to all applications.

At a time when fast and unreliable water activity predictions are being recklessly promoted, Dr Brady Carter, world expert in water activity, has outlined the key factors to consider in a water activity meter that will meet all standard methods and government regulations by providing true and reliable results. In this video, he reviews how well our Labmaster NEO performs against these factors.

In this Video we show you the easiest way to connect your LabMaster-aw neo to the LIMS System. What are the stumbling blocks? what is there to consider? We give you our advices from our experts.

Balanced nutrition is becoming increasingly important for us. Not only what ends up on our table is important to us, but also what is in the bowl of our fluffy four-legged friends, because we want our faithful companions to feel good. The production of pet food is one of the fastest growing industries. Various specifications are becoming more and more important, including water activity.

You have a water activity instrument or maybe you are thinking about getting a water activity instrument, so you can generate a water activity value. The test seems pretty simple. You place a sample in the instrument, push the read button, the test runs and a water activity value appears on the screen. Great. You look down at the screen and the water activity reported is 0.720 at 25C. Now what? Is that good? What does it mean? Why is it useful? What can you do with it?

In cooperation with Dr. Brady Carter, we have the answers to all these questions because we want you to understand why measuring water activity is so important.

Dr. Brady Carter explains in his video: "Let's be Honest" which methods are currently used to analyze the aW value of products. These methods include resistive electrolytic sensors, dew point, diode lasers and capacitive sensors. He relentlessly demonstrates the advantages and disadvantages of each method using six criteria that are essential for the decision-making process. Benefit from Dr. Carter's 15 years of experience in the field of water activity.

Dr. Carter captivated us, the Novasina team, with this contribution. His open and honest way of talking about all these methods is an added value for every listener and offers the opportunity to look beyond the end of one's nose and understand more deeply what is important and needs to be considered when measuring water activity.

This video is about changing a measurement sensor on a LabMaster-aw neo.

Before you can proceed, please make sure you have the necessary materials & tools available. To perform this task, you will need the following items:

• Allen key which was included in the kit and can be found in the SAL-T standard case

• Measurement sensor as a spare.



Please consider that there are different versions available:

- awSens-ENS sensor for standard applications

or

- awSens-ELS sensor for samples containing alcohol and/or strong aroma



1. To start, switch of the instrument and let it shut-down completely.

2. Open the salt standard case and take-out the Allen key.

3. Open the instrument by lifting the bar.

4. Use the Allen key to loosen the 3 screws which fix the measurement head to the upper part of the LabMaster-aw neo.

5. Once completed, remove the measurement head by pulling on the black gasket as shown in the movie.

The sensor is located at the back of the measurement head.

6. Place the measurement head on a table in so that you can access the two screws which fix the sensor in place. Use the Allen key to dismount the screws.

7. Then pull-out the sensor by holding the small bar which is located on the sensor itself.

8. Now take the spare sensor, open the plastic container and take out the sensor cell.

9. Place the sensor on the measurement head, there is only one way that it will fit.

10. Press the sensor down gently and secure it with the two screws by using the Allen key.

11. Mount the sensor head back to the upper part of the LabMaster-aw neo. Please pay attention to pins and connector. There is only one way you can mount it in.

12. Take the 3 screws to secure the measurement head. Use the Allen key to tighten the screws, however, make sure you do not apply too much force.

Once everything is back in place, close the instrument and switch it on.
