AST Products VCA 2500XE

The VCA 3000s utilizes a precision camera and advanced PC technology to capture static or dynamic images of the droplet and determine tangent lines for the basis of contact angle measurement. Manual or automatic syringe provides easy dispensing of test liquid. Computerized operation eliminates human error in line drawing and captures dynamic images for time sensitive analysis. Data and images are stored in the computer for later analysis or easy transfer to other software applications. (Excerpt from the AST Products VCA 3000 product page) AST Products has discontinued producing the VCA 2500EX which was followed by the VCA 3000 model.


This used 2500XE video contact angle analysis system is in good cosmetic condition. New Life Scientific technicians have evaluated the functionality of the instrument to the best of their resources, by powering the instrument on. Without software, the camera and mechanics cannot be controlled and New Life Scientific does not have the software. Unfortunately, the software can only be procured from the manufacture; the customer will need to contact AST Products, Inc for a software quote as the end-user. The included syringe is a consumable product and the user may want to replace it along with the needle before using the instrument. There are additional ports on the instrument for serial and a fiber optic connection. For more information, please see the table below and contact New Life Scientific for details about the thirty-day warranty offered for this product.
