The instrument has a 1-year warranty with the exclusion of consumables (i.e. syringe, needle, batteries). Phone warranty is up to the device manufacturer (Motorola). It is currently 1-year on the phone model included in the package.
Yes! We include free software updates for your device lifetime (5 Years).
We suggest using the flow rate of 1-2 ul/s. One rotation of the syringe plunger included in the package means 5ul. You can calculate the rotating speed based on this value.
Young-Laplace Method
Polynomial Method
We provide a bubble level to level the stage. You need the image calibration number (outer diameter of the needle) and the gravity if you are using Yonge-Laplace method for measurement. You do not need to do any calibration for the Polynomial fitting method. No other calibration is needed.
In the standard version, the drops will be generated manually. We include a threaded plunger syringe from Hamilton in the package. Additionally, for the sliding angle measurement, the tilting of the stage will be manual.
In the automatic version, you can generate the drop with a set volume and the flow rate. Additionally, for the sliding angle measurement you can choose the tilting rate and angle. Everything else apart from these 2 components is the same.

Yes! You only need to purchase the updated phone model. We will provide compatible apps for the new phone model free of cost.
For accuracy purposes, we are restricted to using Motorola Stylus phone or an iPhone (iOS 15 or above) as we need access to raw images to best utilize our image processing algorithms. If you have access to either of the phones, we will simply give you the rest of the setup at a reduced price.
Yes! Once the app is activated, it does not require an internet connection to work.
We can capture multiple images and play it back as a video.

We have a one-size, syringe holder currently for the size of Hamilton syringe we ship in the package. If you need it to be wider, just let us know what size you need and we can custom design one per your requirements.
Yes!
Yes! We can do Interfacial Tension Measurement between two immiscible liquids using pendant drop method in our Surface tension module.
These three methods are the most widely used methods to calculate the solid surface energy. Any of them can calculate the solid surface energy for you. However, the literature suggests that depending on the type of surface you want to do the measurement for, one/ two of these methods may perform better than others. So, we suggest that you first check what method is most widely used for your sample in the literature and select the same when you do your measurement.
