Benchtop detergent tester

Copley Scientific will exhibit the latest equipment for testing detergents, including the company’s precision benchtop Tergotometer,
and equipment for testing powders, at the American Oil Chemists’ Society (AOCS) 7th World Conference on Detergents – from 4-7 October 2010 in Montreux, Switzerland. Used to evaluate detergency properties by washing standardised soiled fabrics, Copley Scientific’s Tergotometer combines eight miniature washing machine simulators within a single, benchtop instrument. This scaled down test environment minimises the quantity of detergent required during development and QC processes, whilst maximising accuracy and throughput in a laboratory environment. Typical applications include: evaluating the effectiveness of detergents; optimising temperature, speed and water hardness parameters; examining the washability and colour fastness of fabrics; and routine screening for dirt removal and brightening.
