Instruments
At this year's exhibition, we present the TwinTorque MEK-3000 which is not only a consistency transmitter featuring a revolutionary new technology, but also the first transmitter in line with the new generation of easier, smaller, smarter, lighter BTG instruments. We are also showing our brightness transmitter BT-UV which has the unique capability to measure the fluorescence from optical brighteners in addition to the traditional parameters brightness, color and ERIC. The complete range of our Mütek™ lab products will be on display including the new standard for lab charge measurement, the PCD-04 Travel, and the brand new software ChargeView that - amongst other features - comfortably generates a charge data base, compiles PCD-04 and SZP-06 measurements, shows cationic demand versus zeta potential. Please also visit booth No. A21:50 for our complete range of Mütek lab instruments.
