Water activity meter aWLife
Contact our expert for more informations.
aWLife Water Activity Meter is an indispensable tool for the quality control of products and ingredients in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields.
Wherever it is necessary to study the shelf life of a product in order to determine its risk of microbial development and therefore its shelf life over time, aWLife is the ideal solution.
aWLife is also one of the highest-performing instrument on the market thanks to its dew point sensor, which measures the actual water activity (aW) directly rather than related or secondary parameters.
Equipped with a latest-generation touchscreen graphic display, aWLife ensures a simple and intuitive workflow, enabling automatic data storage, immediate sample and operator identification, and seamless communication with PCs and external memory devices.

Dew Point Sensor
aWLife is the highest-performing water activity meter on the market thanks to its dew point sensor, which directly measures the actual water activity (aW) rather than related or secondary parameters. For this reason, dew point technology is widely recognized as the reference method for water activity determination.
Selective Single-Point, Multipoint and Fast Calibration
The new calibration and verification modes enable operators to ensure maximum instrument accuracy at every measurement session while optimizing analysis time, even when testing samples with significantly different aW values. The system offers maximum operational flexibility, allowing users to independently select the most suitable calibration procedure according to the type of analysis being performed and the available calibration standards.
Temperature Control
Thanks to innovative calculation algorithms and advanced temperature control systems, aWLife can perform a wide range of analyses, from routine quality control measurements to customized shelf-life studies tailored to specific applications and products.
