Water Activity & Moisture
Pawkit Water Activity Meter
Meter Aqualab Pawkit is the smallest, lightest water activity instrument on the market
You can't take the lab with you however, now you can have Aqualab quality and speed in the palm of your hand. The self-contained battery-operated Pawkit is just 4 inches long and weighs only 4 ounces (115g), with an accuracy of ±0.02 aw. The Pawkit is specially designed for the researcher on the go — for tasks such as quality assurance checks and inspections.

Quick and Easy Measurement
Measurement is simple. Just open the bottom of the instrument, insert your sample, and press a button. In 5 minutes, your water activity measurement will appear along with the temperature. You can also easily check and adjust calibration whenever necessary.
Designed for Portability
This sleek instrument comes to you in a durable carrying case that has a foam insert for the instrument, sample cups, and verification standards, enabling you to take the instrument with the necessary supplies you'll need when you're on the go. The Pawkit also uses the same sample cups and verification standards as the AquaLab benchtop models, so you won't have to worry about using different consumables if you already have a benchtop AquaLab.
