Sartorius offers glass-free moisture analysis

Published: 1-Jan-2003


The MA 45 Moisture Analyser from Sartorius is designed to make short work of routine moisture analysis for process quality control, research and development applications. The MA 45 is available with metal panels in place of the standard glass window panels, eliminating the hazard of broken glass in the production area. Furthermore, it features a ceramic heating element, which unlike halogen elements is also completely glass free. Users often need fast moisture results in the production area but find their choices limited by FDA and HACCP regulations.

The MA 45 has features designed for speed and efficiency, including the ceramic IR heater (infrared radiator), which guarantees even distribution of heat and infrared rays over the sample surface. The analyser features a new rugged monolithic weigh cell, offering a weighing capacity of 45g at 1mg resolution, with results displayed as percentage of moisture, percentage of dry weight, percentage ratio and weight of residue.

Temperature ranges from 40°C to 230°C and the MA 45 gives users a choice of three modes for end-point determination: fully automatic; semi automatic with user-defined shut-off; or timer mode.
