Surface tension for physical chemistry testing

Study

Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Active

Water solubility is a basic physical chemical parameter of a substance, and physical chemistry is fundamental to the development and subsequent approval of a crop or chemical active substance. Surfactants, or surface-active agents, are designed to reduce the surface tension of liquids to allow better mixing of phases or increased wetting. In this test, as increasing concentrations of surfactant are added to water, the surface tension decreases until the minimum surface tension is reached. Simple dilutions of a strong, fully dispersed stock solution of test substance are used and the surface tension of each dilution is measured.

About our nonclinical animal research models: We provide the utmost care for our research animals and actively pursue advances in animal welfare. As well as ensuring the highest scientific, ethical and regulatory standards, selection of appropriate animal research models for development research is critical to developing safe and effective treatments, devices and products that protect and save lives. Just as we have ethical committee oversight for human trials, we have ethical committees overseeing all aspects of our global animal care and use programs. All of our core, nonclinical facilities are accredited by AAALAC. Learn more about our commitment to replacing, reusing and refining nonclinical research models.
