Introducing AQUALAB 5TE: A New Standard in Water Activity Measurement
Posted September 1, 2026
We’re pleased to introduce the new AQUALAB 5TE, a water activity meter designed to make routine moisture and quality testing faster, simpler and more reliable. Combining chilled-mirror dew point technology with an intuitive touchscreen interface, the AQUALAB 5TE provides accurate water activity measurements in 60 seconds or less.
The AQUALAB 5TE measures water activity, moisture content and temperature, making it a practical tool for quality control across different stages of production. From raw material receiving and processing through to storage and laboratory testing, it provides fast and repeatable results to help teams monitor product quality and make informed decisions.
Maintenance is also straightforward, with a removable and swappable sensor block that provides easy access for cleaning, calibration and repair. Optional AQUALAB Cloud connectivity adds centralised data management across connected instruments, while the standalone option allows essential measurements and instrument functions to continue without a cloud connection.
With its combination of accurate measurement, practical operation and flexible connectivity, the new AQUALAB 5TE is a useful addition for businesses looking to strengthen their moisture management and quality control processes.
Key Highlights:
- Fast Results — Water activity measurements in five minutes or less.
- Accurate Measurement — ±0.003 aw accuracy.
- Three Measurements — Water activity, moisture content and temperature.
- Easy Maintenance — Swappable sensor block for cleaning, calibration and repair.
- Cloud Connectivity — Optional AQUALAB Cloud for connected data management.
