Apparatus for the continuous monitoring of gel swelling and shrinkage gels and of colored solutions


This machine can follow continuous changes in the swelling and shrinkage of gels or other physical bodies, give information on changes in color reactions in real time, and follow changes at the microbial level of microorganisms as evidenced by loss of clarity. Special software and sample cells have been built for these purposes. The advantage of this apparatus is the continuous report it provides while tracing the aforementioned processes in real time.
