AquaLab instrument is a technology in the field of water activity and the gold standard for water activity meters. It is also a recommended instrument for methods such as FDA, AOAC, USP, and ISO.
The design, development, and production of AquaLab water activity meters are located in Pullman, Washington, USA.
The predecessor of AquaLab water activity meter was a measuring instrument for soil and plant cell water potential, launched by the company's founder, Dr. Gaylon S. Campbell, a soil science professor at Washington State University in the United States, in 1983. Dr. Henry Leung, a professor of food science at Washington State University, dedicated himself to applying this instrument to the study of food moisture activity, replacing the slow and expensive measuring equipment at the time, thus giving birth to the world's * fastest instrument for measuring food moisture activity. In recognition of Dr. Henry Leung's outstanding contributions in the field of food research, the American Society for Food Science and Technology awarded him the Prescott Award in 1984.
Dr. Gaylon Campbell and company president Joe Harris attended the annual meeting of the American Society for Food Technology in 1983 with their AquaLab water activity meter. Dr. Ted Labuza, a renowned authority in the field of food water activity and a professor of food science and engineering at the University of Minnesota (recipient of the Morse Alumni Outstanding Education Award), has developed a strong interest in this instrument. Dr. Ted Labuza's encouragement and feedback have promoted technological improvements in AquaLab products, making them more suitable for the food industry. The AquaLab water activity meter has been widely loved by customers for its simple use, fast and accurate readings, and has been consistently maintained in the field of water activity since its launch.
AquaLab provides comprehensive hydration solutions in the fields of food, medicine, and agriculture. The products include AquaLab series water activity meters, water content analyzers, and dynamic vapor adsorption analyzers.
Kangbao Zhixin Measurement Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., as the branch of AquaLab products in China, is responsible for the sales, marketing, and technical services of AquaLab products in China. It has a technical service center in Beijing that can provide services such as instrument calibration, maintenance, and training.
