Affordable Water Activity Meter for Chocolatiers and Artisan Bakeries

Novasina launch the new low cost entry level Labstart- aw aimed at chocolatiers and artisan bakeries to reduce waste and spoilage.

Novasina, a leading provider of precision measurement solutions, has announced the launch of the Labstart-aw, a low-cost, entry-level water activity meter designed specifically for chocolatiers, confectioners, and artisan bakeries.

The Labstart-aw enables small and medium-scale producers to accurately measure water activity (aw) in their products, a key factor in controlling microbial growth, texture, and shelf life. By monitoring water activity, chocolatiers and bakers can reduce waste, prevent spoilage, and maintain consistent product quality, all without the high cost typically associated with laboratory-grade instruments.
