Surfactant Analysis with Sigma Peak Force Tensiometer

Surfactants are critical ingredients across industries from personal care and cleaning products to pharmaceuticals, food, and advanced coatings — yet characterizing their performance at liquid interfaces remains a challenge for many labs. This webinar introduces the Attension Sigma Peak force tensiometer and demonstrates how it enables fast, accurate, and automated surfactant analysis in both R&D and quality control settings.

Participants will gain a practical understanding of force tensiometry principles and learn how the Sigma Peak addresses common measurement challenges — from surface and interfacial tension to critical micelle concentration (CMC) determination — with minimal user intervention and industry-leading precision.

Who should attend:

This webinar is aimed at laboratory scientists, formulators, and QC professionals working with surfactants in industries such as detergents and cleaning products, personal care and cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, paints and coatings, and food science. It is equally relevant for researchers new to force tensiometry and experienced users looking to get more from their instrument.
