APPLICATION SUPPORT

Are you interested in upgrading your Attension Optical Tensiometer’s dispenser to add automated dispensing of more than 2 liquids? Whether you have several coating formulations to test on a surface material or you would like to fully automate surface free energy (SFE) measurements, the new Attension dispensers provide greater flexibility by allowing the use of up to 4 different liquids.

These new dispensers are compatible with existing Theta Flow, Flex, and Lite systems, with different adapters depending on your current instrument configuration.

To discover the upgrade path for your instrument, please reach out to our Application Support/Service Team by using the link below:
