Welcome to See System

TipMarch 2025: Software upgrade for See System contact angle and surface energy meter

The latest version 8 has improved design and includes number of useful enhancements as: automatic statistics on contact angle data (arithmetic mean, standard and expanded uncertainty, test of consistence based on 99.7% expanded deviation), instant view of data in graph, autosaving of project file, extended database of coefficients of testing liquids. Contact us for price offer.

See System 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 150 installations in 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.
