Moisture Analyzer, Sartorius

This moisture analyzer is designed for measuring moisture content ranging from approximately 8 to 100% in a fraction of the time it takes for other thermogravimetric methods.

• Built-in analytical weighing system and thermal printer
• Easy two-key operation for routine moisture measurements
• Can be used for liquid and pasty samples with a moisture content ranging from approx. 8 to 100%
• Analysis time approximately 40 to 120 seconds (depends on the type of sample and moisture content)

For ultra-fast measurements, a sample is applied to a glass fibre pad that allows water vapor to evaporate not only from the top of the pad and upward through the sample, but also from the bottom of the pad. An exhaust system draws water vapor out of the sample chamber, thus preventing the effects of condensation.

If the sample contains a high moisture content, microwave drying is the fastest and most effective procedure (loss-on-drying) for heating samples. A sample is heated by absorption of microwave radiation. A built-in analytical weighing system measures the weight loss of a sample and determines the end point at which the sample has reached a constant weight. In addition, an air moisture sensor monitors the progress of a moisture analysis run, thus providing double the certainty to assure reliable results.

End-point determination: Fully automatic, by means of mass and moisture sensors; User-defined as loss of weight/unit of time for measurement; Timer mode
