Learn moreAbout GBX Scientific
GBX Scientific LTD designs and manufactures precision instruments for material science and surface chemistry from its headquarters in Dublin, Ireland.
The company builds two instrument ranges: Digidrop contact angle goniometers for contact angle and surface energy measurement, and 3S force tensiometers for surface and interfacial tension measurement using the Du Noüy ring and Wilhelmy plate methods.
GBX instruments are used by laboratories and R&D teams for wettability studies, powder characterisation, surfactant formulation and quality control, and are supported directly by the team that designs them.

Clear, factual answers about GBX Scientific, our instrument ranges and how we can help your laboratory.
What does GBX Scientific manufacture?
GBX Scientific manufactures contact angle goniometers and force tensiometers for contact angle measurement, surface energy analysis and interfacial or surface tension measurement. Its instruments are sold under two brands: Digidrop and 3S.
Where is GBX Scientific located?
GBX Scientific is headquartered in Tallaght, Dublin, Ireland (Unit B15 Whitestown Way, South City Business Park, D24 N79F).
What is the Digidrop range?
The Digidrop range is GBX Scientific's line of contact angle goniometers, including the Digidrop MCAT V8-X. These instruments measure static and dynamic contact angles and derive surface energy from wettability measurements.
What is the 3S range?
The 3S range is GBX Scientific's line of force tensiometers for surface and interfacial tension measurement. It includes the 3S-I and 3S-RND models, which use the Du Noüy ring and Wilhelmy plate methods and can perform pendant drop analysis, critical micelle concentration (CMC) studies and powder wettability tests.
Which measurement methods do GBX instruments support?
GBX instruments cover sessile and dynamic drop contact angle measurement, surface tension and interfacial tension by the Du Noüy ring and Wilhelmy plate methods, pendant drop analysis, critical micelle concentration (CMC) determination and wettability of powders.
