MicroDens - Portable Precision Density Meter

MicroDens is a portable density meter that measures density and concentration directly in the field with ±0.0001 g/cm³ accuracy.

It requires only 1 mL of sample and delivers stable results in under 10 seconds, eliminating the need to transport samples to the laboratory. 2.8" touchscreen display, rechargeable battery with 10+ hours of autonomy, weight 380 grams.

It features a base package with standard parameters and specific packages for Food & Beverage applications. Bluetooth and USB-C connectivity for data management via MicroDens DataLogger software.

TECHNOLOGY

MEMS Technology with Silicon Sensor

The heart of MicroDens is a silicon microelectromechanical (MEMS) sensor with an omega-shaped channel, the same technology used in reference research laboratories.

MEMS Sensor

Vibrating tube technology with automatic temperature and viscosity compensation.

Rapid Stabilisation

Stable measurements in few seconds thanks to the integrated Smart Stabilizer algorithms.

How to take a precision measurement

1
Rinse the cell 3–4× Flush the cell with 3–4 cycles of ~1 mL to condition it with the sample.
2
Sample detection SmartStabilizer The system automatically detects the sample change: after 3 consistent readings it signals "Detected".
3
Store Data The reading stabilised automatically by the SmartStabilizer algorithms can safely be saved on the instrument or exported via BLE.

Extended Range

Operates from 0°C to +40°C with a density range of 0.6–1.2 g/cm³, covering over 95% of industrial applications.

QUALITY CONTROL

Customisable Limits

Set minimum and maximum thresholds for each measurement. MicroDens immediately signals whether the sample is compliant or out of specification with instant visual feedback.

  • Programmable limits for each method
  • Instant OK/KO visual feedback
  • Fast decisions on the production line
  • Reduction of waste and non-conformances
Compliant measurement - OK

Density as the fingerprint of your product

Every fluid has a characteristic density. Even minor variations indicate changes in composition: contamination, dilution, degradation, adulteration. Measuring density means verifying that the product is exactly what it should be.

This principle applies throughout the entire value chain: at raw material receipt, during production, before dispatch, upon arrival at destination, during field installation, and throughout the operational life of the product or plant.

Methods

Parameters, scale and thermal correction chosen by you

MEMS Oscillating Tube

Every industry has its own units, its own scales, its own reference fluids. MicroDens is not limited to pre-defined methods: you can create fully custom methods, choosing the two parameters to display, the reference temperature, the thermal correction coefficient and the measurement mode.

What you can customise in each method
Choose which two quantities to display (e.g. density + °Brix), the reference temperature, the thermal correction coefficient, the measurement mode (Precise / Fast / …) and the min/max acceptance limits for each parameter.

TRACEABILITY

Sample ID

Every measurement can carry a sample identifier. From quick field checks to full multi-batch traceability.

Automatic counter

The number advances automatically with every measurement. Zero configuration, instant to use. Ideal for quick sessions where batch distinction is not required.

#001  →  #002  →  #003  →  …
★ Most versatile

Template ID with @@

Write a pattern with @ symbols wherever you want the number: MicroDens automatically generates the full ID with the counter in the exact position.

WINE-@@@
→ 3-digit number
WINE-001, WINE-002…
LAB@@-2026
→ prefix + year
LAB01-2026, LAB02-2026…
BATCH-@@@@
→ 4 digits, e.g. lots
BATCH-0042, BATCH-0043…

Each template maintains its own independent counter. You can work with multiple series in parallel — WINE-@@@ and BEER-@@@ never overlap.

When data is exported to MicroDens Logger or Logger Pro, the template ID becomes the key by which the software automatically organises measurements by batch and session: all FERMENT-@@ readings from the day are collected into a single traceable series, ready for trend charts, inter-batch comparison and GLP archiving.

@ = 1 digit @@ = 01-99 @@@ = 001-999 @@@@ = 0001-9999 Logger Pro multi-batch
