Principle of the eFAst-Lab sensor

Dewpoint by cooling and heating mirror

The instrument

Introduction to eFAst-Lab

 Leak-proof measurement chamber

The unique design of the eFAst-Lab sensor can create

a leak-proof measurement chamber. A "pop" each time you open the head confirms this.


The volume ratio of air to product

The volume inside the eFAst-Lab head is very small


Temperature homogeneity

The sensor and the chamber are kept at the same temperature in the eFAst-Lab


Constant temperature

The instrument can work at the same temperature using the Peltier effect


Equilibrium time

The instrument determines automatically the  equilibrium time 


Automatic calibration

All the instruments need to be calibrated from time to time due to electronic derivation. Often this procedure is long and requires some knowledge. This is why GBX Scientific LTD has developed the first instrument to include the auto-calibration feature in 1 and 2 points without the need to tell the instrument the value of the salt.


Dirty mirror info.

When using mirror technology, the mirror may become dirty due to contamination of products used. If when this happens you don't get the Dirty Mirror Info, you might obtain completely wrong measurements. GBX has developed a way to inform the user if the mirror needs to be cleaned. This can be done very easily in only 3 minutes.

Your data are important for us.

So we are offering to save up to 30 years of data with 100 measurements/day

Thanks to our advanced technology, in case of an issue with the electronic, the data are protected and can be retrieved easily.

You can organise, too, to export automatically your data to *.csv format

Temperature control

eFAst-Lab with temperature control

eFAst-Lab without temperature control

eFAst-Lab without temperature control

the instrument can be temperature  controlled at 25°C with temperature equilibrium from 0.1°C up to +/- 0.001°C ( operator choice)

The technology of the sensor is not so much sensible to the external temperature. So for many applications, it is not so useful to measure at the same temperature

How to install the sample

Measure a huge rage of products : from 0.030 to 1.0000 of AW

    1/6

    Accurate measurement

    accuracy of the measure +/- 0.003 from 0.0300 to 1.0000 of Aw

    Resolution : 0.0001 and 0.001

    Fast measurement

    Thanks to a newly redesigned sensor, the response time is achieved in 2 to 5 min without the need to extrapolate the results. So the measure remains a true measure

    Modern technology

    Communicant Instrument

    Nowadays, serial output is a very old technology  used to communicate with PC. The scientist must get a fast and easy way to  communicate with this kind of instrument.

    No need to select or search for Port Com when you connect a serial connector to your PC. Just insert the ethernet cabe in your PC

    The eFAst-Lab has been developed with sale kind of  software used in your smartphone and tablet.  Offering capability to control and/or read the values direct from your smartphone or tablet.

    As it is a truly communicant you can easily create a cluster of eFAst-Lab installed all over the world  to survey many instruments with one software. 

    We have developed other intreresting capabilities....

    We are not using old technology as converter Serial - Ethernet.


    Extra Benefits

    Automatic calibration

    Automatic determination of the best measurements conditions

    Automatic determination of the best measurements conditions

    Our instrument is so sensible that  you don't need to use any electronic system ( RFID, NFC...) to give the answer to the instrument about the value to be found . Put any salts and it will be able to calibrate. So no knowledge,  you can manufacture and use your own salts, 

    Automatic determination of the best measurements conditions

    Automatic determination of the best measurements conditions

    Automatic determination of the best measurements conditions

    Because our technology is powerful, no need to save many procedures inside of the instrument to be able to display a measurement in 5 minutes. So we can work easily  and quickly even with unknown samples or modified samples  (R&D)

    eFAst-Lab almost no service

    The sensor is based on cooled mirror technology. So it doesn't need to be regenerated every 6 months and often recalibrated.

    The instrument

    Introduction to eFWM

    Sensor technology:

    Our sensor is based on ASIC technology to ensure high stability and fast measurement even at 0.97 of AW.

    This instrument is not based on dewpoint technology. But we could display dewpoint value by calculation 


    Range of AW:  

    0.03 to 1.000 of AW. The technology will permit to go down to 0 of AW. But the value of 0.000 in humidity is impossible.


    Fast measurement:

    The measurement is quite Fast even at the high level of AW


    Leak-proof measurement chamber

    The unique design of the  eFAst-Lab sensor can create

    a leak-proof measurement chamber. 


    The volume ratio of air to product

    The volume inside the eFWM head is very small.


    Temperature homogeneity

    The sensor and the chamber are kept at the same temperature in the eFWM


    Constant temperature

    The instrument can work at the same temperature using the Peltier effect for the range 20°C - 25°C.


    Equilibrium time

    The instrument determines automatically the  equilibrium time 


    Automatic calibration

    this sensor doesn't need to be calibrated in slope.  The end-user needs to check the shift only. The instrument will inform when to do it. So no stress in Production.
