The secret to the 4TE’s speed and accuracy is in its unique chilled mirror dew point sensor. The dew point sensor is a primary measure of water activity. Unlike other water activity sensors, the dew point sensor measures water activity (aw) directly, not secondary parameters correlated with water activity. This makes the AQUALAB 4TE extremely accurate, so you can have complete confidence in your water activity sample readings.

Easy maintenance

AQUALAB 4TE lets you spot contamination quickly with the flip of the lid. The sample chamber can be opened for any easy-to-clean maintenance.

Starter set 

All verified AQUALAB 4TE’s are shipped with a calibration certificate, power cord, USB A to USB B cable.

Built for abuse

Take readings in the harshest conditions – on the line, in receiving or shipping areas. Aqualab devices don’t need a pristine lab to consistently deliver quality data.
