Theta Pulsating Drop

Optical tensiometer for investigation of emulsion and foam stability through interfacial rheology measurements.

The Attension® Theta Pulsating Drop from Biolin Scientific adds interfacial rheology measurements to the Theta Flow and Theta Flex platforms. Using the pulsating drop method, it oscillates the volume of a pendant drop and tracks how the interfacial tension responds, characterizing the dilational viscoelasticity of the interface. This is particularly valuable for studying surfactant, protein and emulsion behavior, where the mechanical properties of the interface govern stability.

WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT

Key benefits

  • Access to interfacial rheology. Measures the dilational viscoelasticity of an interface, going beyond static surface and interfacial tension.
  • Proven pulsating drop method. Oscillates the drop volume and tracks the interfacial tension response, a well-established approach to dilational rheology.
  • Built on a platform you already know. Adds to the Theta Flow or Theta Flex rather than requiring a separate instrument, sharing the same optics and OneAttension software.
  • Relevant to formulation stability. Interfacial mechanical properties are a key factor in the stability of foams, emulsions and surfactant and protein systems.
