About us

The science of water in products has fascinated us for more than two decades.

In 1988, we released our first water activity instrument. Since then, we’ve used water activity technology to develop other instruments, including a moisture content meter and a vapor sorption analyzer.

We created wateractivity.org as an extension of the work we do at Decagon Devices. We’ve learned a lot in the 25 years since we made our first water activity meter, and this web site is an attempt to share that information with anyone who is interested.
