When did you test the Aqualab 3? Did they give you the iPad for an interface? What humidistats are you using?
The destrucitve method (aW meter) works with fresh, drying, and dried material. I think the sample size is what, a gram or two?
That’s awesome! It’s great to read about your experience and success!
I planned to track aW by destructive analysis during cure and long-term post-package testing. But I like how you are monitoring during the cure as well. I think I will copy you and add humidistats to the curing tubs.
My curing/quarantine/manicuring process sounds pretty much identical to yours: while waiting for the QA lab test results, flowers are curing and getting manicured.
That’s only if you’re using the aW meter. The Dry Module is pretty much hands-free. It uses METERGroup climate sensors to track RH and artificial intelligence machine learning to estimate aW and predict when optimal drying will be achieved.
The Aqualab 3 is only used to validate the estimated and predicted aW from the Dry Module’s AI.
If you’re interested, I uploaded a few screenshots of Aroya’s Dry Module dashboard and a few documents in my other thread on this topic, Drying: Microwave vacuum (Enwave's "Terpene Max") vs. Aw (Aroya's "Dry Module")?, including their story board and isotherm validation studies in this post.
And you shall have them, sir ![]()
