Description
Overview
The PCE-WAM 20 is a portable water activity meter that measures the free, unbound water content (water activity or aw) in organic products such as food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Water activity is crucial for assessing product shelf life and quality, as it directly influences the growth of microorganisms, molds, and yeasts. Unlike total moisture content, the aw value is the primary indicator of microbial stability.
