KSV Minitrough System 4

- Extended Range Analytical Film Balance

PC-controlled Professional/Student Film Balance with comprehensive tutorial and instructional video for undergraduate experiments and for conventional analysis of monolayers at the air-water interface. The extended length of the trough allows high compression ratios to be achieved, and is specifically recommended for use with the interfacial shear rheometer, ISR 400.

Configuration includes:

• The KSV Minitrough Control Module
• Extended range trough, with or without quartz window
  
• Barriers
  
• Film balance
• Barrier drive

Common Features

• Symmetric or single-sided compression of the monolayer by two inter-linked surface barriers
  
• Leak-proof hydrophilic Delrin barriers
  
• Form-sintered single piece, non-porous PTFE trough. Surface area 587cm², subphase volume 293 ml, (782 mm x 75 mm x 5 mm)
• Subphase temperature control facility by aluminum heating/cooling base plate operated by external circulating water bath. Bath sold separately
• Digital display of surface pressure
• Super-sensitive film balance with Platinum Wilhelmy plate (51066), 100 paper plates (51066FP) and a hook for paper plates (51066FPH)
• Complete KSV WINLB software for Windows operating systems
• Comprehensive instruction manual and instructional video CD on how to set up the instrument and get started with  measurements (or for use in undergraduate experiments)
• Complete starter kit to make initial measurements (see accessory KSV-LBKIT)
