For You, We Lead the Way
The DMA: Always Superior
As the world market leader in density measurement, our pulse beats for density. We’re always striving to give you, the customer, ever greater measurement precision, even for budget-friendlier instruments. We are engaged in a relentless drive for perfection, we invest in advanced manufacturing, and we constantly challenge the limits of density measurement technology.
For three years now, we have been working on technological advancements that traverse frontiers, reinventing and reimagining the very heart of density measurement. In our brand-new Technology Center at Anton Paar Headquarters in Graz, Austria, we’ve refined our hydrostatic balance – the gold standard for density measurement – and built a special new in-house production unit to manufacture the pulse of every digital density meter: the borosilicate glass measuring sensor.
Anton Paar Sets New Standards. Always. For You.
Anton Paar’s latest innovations in density measurement combine precision, usability, and intelligent design to deliver unmatched performance across the board.
Each component works in perfect harmony to ensure reliable results, maximum efficiency, and user-friendly handling – for you. From the core measuring cell to intelligent visual feedback and simplified workflows, every detail has been optimized for professional laboratory use. The following four key technologies represent the foundation of the new DMA series.
Discover how the optimized U-Tube, U-View, U-Pulse, and U-Dry redefine what is possible in modern density measurement – engineered by Anton Paar, the inventors of the first-ever digital density instrument.
U-Tube
The glass oscillating U-tubes, with unmatchable repeatability of 0.000001 g/cm³, are the heart of each DMA density meter. They are manufactured under strict quality control at Anton Paar’s headquarters in Graz. This means that every production step can be monitored and optimized, resulting in even lower production tolerances, which in turn deliver unmatched measurement performance.
U-View
The enhanced zoomable camera image U-View, together with the FillingCheck, which even detects microbubbles, ensures correctly filled samples – leading to results that you can rely on, 100 %. It has been further improved through more homogeneous illumination and higher resolution.
U-Pulse
The trusted pulsed excitation method delivers unmatched performance and sets new standards in density measurement. Further optimizations of the algorithm enhance stability and precision. The built-in reference oscillator guarantees drift-free measurement, leading to an accuracy of 0.000005 g/cm³.
U-Dry
The new one-touch drying of the measuring cell makes your measurement fast, simple, and efficient. With one hand movement, the air pump is automatically activated. Thanks to the integrated innovative syringe illumination, filling errors are easily detected before the sample is filled into the U-tube.
Always pioneers: Always leading the way in density measurement.
The world's first digital density meter was introduced by Anton Paar in the 1960s.
