DMA 501

• 3-digit digital density measurement from the market leader
• Small is big: only 1 mL sample volume avoids wasting product
• Big is bigger: 7” glove-friendly touchscreen for great usability
• No manual calculations due to 60+ conversion tables
• Ready for pasty, inhomogeneous, particle-containing samples

Benefits:

·        Upgrade your density measurements and leave your time-intensive, breakage-prone hydrometers behind. Over 60 integrated conversion tables, 400 freely configurable methods, and memory for up to 5000 data logs set the benchmark in this segment. Set up the device once with all your frequently used tests and return to them again and again to immediately see a clear “pass/fail” result based on your defined acceptable upper and lower limits. As DMA 501/1001 requires only 1 mL sample volume you won’t waste valuable product. Both instruments thrive in harsh environments and automatically compensate for external influences such as humidity, altitude, and ambient temperature. When linked to AP Connect, our lab execution software, all data is stored in a single digital space and accessible from any network computer. 

·        DMA 501 is your entry-ticket to 3-digit digital density measurement. Choose DMA 1001 for 4-digit accuracy and full compliance with international standards, including all relevant Pharmacopeia (US, EU, JP, CN), data integrity (21 CFR Part 11, GMP 4 annex 11&15, ALCOA+), and ASTM D4052 & D5002.

Anton Paar Bioindenter: Dedicated to your research

Investigations with the Anton Paar Bioindenter result in valuable conclusions on the mechanical behavior of very soft biological materials. This can be especially important when it comes to gaining a better understanding of the human body, e.g. for improving diagnosis, developing new drugs, engineering tissues and much more.

The indentation procedure: Optimized for your measurements

The Anton Paar Bioindenter offers a wide choice of indentation procedures including quasi-static, dynamic and user defined indentation modes. On the top of the standard analysis models, it includes Hertz model and automatic pull-off adhesion analysis. The convenient contact point determination makes the Bioindenter an instrument you will enjoy working with.

The measurement system: A class of its own

The measurement unit of the instrument itself is designed for high-precision nanoindentation in biology and medicine. The integrated true force sensor is able to apply a maximum load of up to 20 mN. The displacement sensor allows a large travel range. Furthermore, the Anton Paar Bioindenter provides good thermal stability to study creep and flow properties. 

Software: The key to your results

With the powerful but easy to handle software, you have full control of the indentation procedures (load, displacement, etc.). The results are automatically analyzed and a statistical module for fast overview of your the data and results is also provided. User-defined ASCII exports can be made and multiple users can work with the instruments with controlled access rights. The elastic modulus can also be calculated from the loading part of the indentation curve using the Hertz’s model, which is more appropriate for biological materials than the commonly used Oliver & Pharr approach.

Different kinds of indenters: The choice is yours

The Anton Paar Bioindenter works with different kinds of indenters depending on your materials and needs. There are spherical indenters with radii from 0.01 mm up to 0.5 mm and larger, flat-punch (flat-ended cylinder) indenters, Berkovich indenters, Vickers indenters, cube-corner indenters, and also custom-made indenters to suit even the most demanding applications (large radii spheres, cylinders, etc.).

The versatile Step platform concept

Select the suitable solution from our platform portfolio based on the test parameters and expected sensitivity. Step platforms offer solutions for single applications used in dedicated laboratories as well as shared instruments across multiple departments. Their modularity enables high-sensitivity indentation testing on bi omaterials, along with characterization of hard polymer samples and scratch testing – all on a single platform.
