The Moisture Analyzer (Halogen Moisture Balance) provides rapid and accurate moisture content determination using a high-precision weighing system combined with halogen heating technology. It is ideal for laboratories, production floors, and QC departments that require fast, repeatable, and traceable moisture measurements.
With programmable drying methods, real-time graphical display, and automatic shutoff modes, the analyzer ensures consistent results while reducing testing time compared to standard oven-drying methods.
🧪 Key Features & Benefits
- Extreme Precision: Measure moisture content as low as 0.001% with high-resolution weighing down to 0.0001g (MS-70 model).
- Fast Drying & Heating: Equipped with Straight Halogen Lamp and Secondary Radiation Assist (SRA) filter for uniform, rapid drying.
- Multiple Measurement Modes: Wet base, dry base, dry content, ratio, and standard weight – ideal for various testing protocols.
- Flexible Temperature Control: Adjustable drying temperatures from 30°C to 200°C, suitable for heat-sensitive or tough samples.
- User-Friendly Interface: Large backlit display, memory for up to 20 measurement programs, and real-time drying progress monitoring.
- Built for Compliance: Supports GLP/GMP/ISO documentation with calibration reminders and detailed result printing.
- Connectivity Ready: RS-232C and optional USB interface for easy data transfer to PCs or printers.
