Teclis SAS

TECLIS INSTRUMENTS has been the market leader in innovative instruments for surface and interface physico-chemistry since 1991 (formerly IT CONCEPT).

TECLIS INSTRUMENTS designs, manufactures and markets equipment, and provides analysis to characterize dispersed systems such as foams and emulsions. Foam analyzers and tensiometers are the two product families developed by the company.

The company’s key technology is image analysis, used in all of its instruments. A complete range of measuring instruments is available to study and understand the properties of liquid/liquid, solid/liquid and gas/liquid interfaces.

TECLIS INSTRUMENTS uses innovative engineering to develop powerful instruments and software solutions which are easy to use and provide good value for researchers both in universities and industries.
