Water Activity Meter Sample Cup Containers
The Heathrow Scientific 47001-SC Sample Cup Containers are disposable 20 mL cups with lids designed specifically for the Heathrow Scientific 47002 Water Activity Meter. Supplied in a pack of 10, these cups ensure consistent sample preparation and repeatable water activity measurements by providing a clean, uncontaminated testing surface for every measurement cycle.
Each cup threads directly onto the detachable sensor assembly, creating a sealed measurement environment. Lids enable sample storage between preparation and testing, preventing moisture loss that would compromise aw accuracy.
Features and Benefits
Disposable cups eliminate cross-contamination risk between samples — critical for facilities testing multiple product types on the same instrument. To use, remove the lid, place the sample in the cup, thread the cup onto the sensor assembly, and connect to the meter to begin measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sample cups come with the water activity meter kit?
The Heathrow Scientific 47002 Water Activity Meter Kit includes one sensor assembly cup plus five extra sample cups with lids. This 47001-SC pack provides 10 additional replacement cups for extended testing programs. High-volume labs performing 10 or more daily tests should maintain a 30-day supply on hand.
Can sample cups be reused after cleaning?
Heathrow Scientific designs these as disposable cups to eliminate cross-contamination risk. Reusing cups may introduce residual moisture or contaminants that compromise aw measurement accuracy. For regulatory compliance in food safety and pharmaceutical applications, using fresh cups for each sample is strongly recommended.
Are these cups compatible with other water activity meters?
These 20 mL sample cups are engineered specifically for the Heathrow Scientific 47002 Water Activity Meter sensor threading system. They are not compatible with instruments from other manufacturers such as AquaLab, Rotronic, or Novasina, which use proprietary sample chamber designs.
