  • PORTABLE SENSORS FOR DETERMINATION OF LIQUID SURFACE TENSION, AND METHODS OF USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20160033383
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the measurement of liquid surface tension using a small, portable sensor. More specifically, the present invention relates to a sensor on which a droplet of the sample liquid is placed and quickly either wets and changes color or remains non-wetted for several minutes. The detection range of this type of sensor is tunable to surface tensions useful for detecting surfactant levels in water, biological liquids, and other liquids, making it useful for a variety of medical, veterinary, home-care, environmental, and global health applications.
