Texture Analyzer
SPECIFICATION
Model: TA.XT Plus
Manufacturer: Stable Micro System
DESCRIPTION
The TA.XT Plus Texture Analyzer is Stable Micro Systems' flagship texture analysis instrument, capable of measuring virtually any physical product characteristic such as hardness, fractur ability, adhesiveness, gel strength, extensibility of food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other consumer products. It is commonly employed to measure and quantify fundamental, empirical, and imitative tests in both compression and tension, covering those relating to texture analysis, materials properties as well as effects of rheology of solid, semi-solid, viscous liquid, powder, and granulate materials. It presents a small portable solution for your texture analysis testing measuring up to 50 kg in force.
