Theta Flow

Product Features

The Theta Flow was designed with meticulous attention to detail and delivers a user-friendly experience while maintaining accuracy across experiments. Theta Flow’s design includes integrated sensors for commonly overlooked factors such as camera tilt angle, system levelness, temperature, and relative humidity which can all affect experimental reproducibility.

Theta Flow’s many high-end features work synergistically to ensure a faster workflow and consistently reproducible results—independent of day-to-day or operator-to-operator variation:

  • Touchscreen to control automated components using context-sensitive sliders, streamlining and ensuring consistency in experimental setup
  • Large 12 cm x 12 cm sample stage accommodates larger samples and allows for more measurements per sample
  • Powerful 5-Megapixel camera with software controlled autofocus delivers superior image definition and sharp contrast for accurate, user-independent contact angle measurements
