See System E is a portable computer-based instrument for contact angle measurement and surface energy determination.It can be also used for ISO 27448:2009 determination of the self-cleaning performance of photocatalytic materials such as that containing titanium dioxide.

The instrument has been installed in more than 120 scientific laboratories worldwide as e.g. Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) or CEPLANT in Brno.  

Due to easy and quick operation it is suitable also for teaching laboratories.

Main features

Supported surface-energy models 

• The software enables the calculation of the surface energy on the basis of the most often used models: Owens-Wendt-Rable-Kaeble, Lifshitz-van der Waals/acid-base, Li-Neumann, Kwok-Neumann, Wu Equation of State,  Zisman.
• Regression variants of Owens-Wendt & acid-base models are also supported.
