A&D introduces advanced moisture analysers

A&D Instruments introduces the latest innovation in moisture determination. Incorporating A&D’s extremely fast Super Hybrid Sensor technology, the new MS, MX, MF and ML moisture analysers are ideal for food, pharmaceutical, chemical processing, or any moisture analysis application, particularly those needing GLP/GMP/ISO compliance.

The analysers utilize software that takes the guesswork out of moisture testing. A&D's exclusive algorithm allows sample types to be programmed and testing automatically stopped once a desired drying rate has been achieved. Additionally the units will calculate the optimum sample weight necessary for the analysis. A 400-watt halogen lamp is aided by a uniquely designed Secondary Radiation Assist (SRA) filter, and together they provide fast uniform heating. This one of a kind drying system, combined with an advanced heat protection mechanism for the weigh cell, provides superior accuracy and repeatability.

Four different operation modes give the units powerful flexibility: manual, standard, quick, and temperature step. Accuracy as fine as 0.001% can be reached using the MS70 model, which in some circumstances, can replace the need for expensive and involved Karl Fischer titration’s. The analysers’ memory function allows users to program many different sample-testing parameters including temperature, time, or % delta of moisture change. These factors can be easily entered from the balance keypad or downloaded from a computer through the standard RS-232C interface.

WinCT Moisture® data collection & graphing software is included with the balance to allow easy logging & graphing of results. Win CT Moisture® also takes the guesswork out of determining the ideal temperature at which to run your sample. Simply run the Optimum Temperature Search program for 30 minutes and let the software make this decision for you. A&D Moisture analysers offer the complete solution for all loss-on-drying needs.
