DataPhysics OCA 200 Contact Angle Measuring System
The DataPhysics OCA 200 is a high-precision contact angle measuring and drop contour analysis system for microscopic and macroscopic structures. It is the ideal instrument for a wide range of applications, including surface characterization, materials science, quality control, and research.
Features and Benefits:
Automatic optic alignment and focus: The OCA 200's software-controlled, electrically driven optic alignment system automatically adjusts the observation angle and focus, ensuring sharp, clear images of the drop profile, regardless of sample size or complexity.
10x zoom lens and autofocus: The OCA 200's trendsetting 10x zoom lens and reliable autofocus system allow it to handle samples ranging from macroscopic silicon wafers to microscopic mesh structures.
High-performance camera: The OCA 200's high-performance camera with USB 3 interface captures fast and efficient images, even for dynamic contact angle measurements.
Electrically driven sample table: The electrically driven sample table enables precise and rapid positioning of micro-structured samples, ideal for fast automated measuring procedures.
Multiple direct dosing system: The OCA 200's electronic multiple direct dosing system DDE/x and up to four electronic syringe modules ESr-N allow for the automated deposition of liquids on macroscopic samples and the determination of their surface parameters.
Nanolitre and picolitre dosing systems: The nanolitre and picolitre dosing systems allow for the analysis of micro-structured samples and individual features, such as the screw threads of a dental implant or the wires of a coronary stent mesh.
Overall, the OCA 200's advanced features and capabilities make it a powerful and versatile tool for contact angle measurement and drop contour analysis on a wide range of samples.

Picolitre Dosing System PDDS — contact angle measurement on micro structured samples
Accurate contact angles require tiny droplets that cling to the sample. Analyzing microstructures like circuit boards presented a challenge. DataPhysics' PDDS solves this with picolitre-sized drops (as small as 30 pL) for precise measurements. Disposable cartridges (easy to fill, no cleaning) handle various liquids, including inks, for simulating the inkjet process. Analyze wettability on tiny features, no sweat!
