Measurements of water activity in supersaturated
aqueous organic solutions of glycine, alanine, succinic acid, and itaconic acid
were made far into the metastable zone by levitating micron sized droplets
electrodynamically in a spherical void electrodynamic levitator trap (SVELT)
with a water vapor reservoir. The concentration dependent behavior of the
activity was examined in relationship to the molecular interactions for
solutions.
