Suspended materials
Ensure the purity and reliability of your water testing with a comprehensive range of products from Avantor® that specifically target suspended materials. Our products include everything you need for:
- Rapid moisture analysis
- Centrifugation and filtration in compliance with European norms
- Removing volatile suspended solids from mainly inorganic substances or fixed solids
Measuring suspended solids using a moisture analyzer involves automatically measuring the weight of the solids in a liquid sample after the moisture content has evaporated.
Centrifugation
Measuring suspended solids by centrifugation involves separating and quantifying the solid particles suspended in a liquid sample using a centrifuge.
Homogenizing samples may be necessary to ensure an even distribution of suspended particles.
The speed and duration of centrifugation should be chosen based on the size and density of the suspended solids.
Drying solid materials at a specified temperature (usually around 105 °C) may be necessary to achieve a constant weight.
The dish or filter with the solid residue is weighed after drying, and the mass of the suspended solids is determined by subtracting the initial weight of the dish or filter.
