MA37

Fully Automatic Infrared Moisture Analyzer for Daily Routine Operation

Advantages

• – High-speed measurements
• – Effortless cleaning
• – User-friendly operation
• – Status light for display of measurement progress

Product Description

The MA37 is the new Sartorius basic analyzer for moisture determination. It operates even faster and is easier to use than its predecessor MA35. In addition, it features a compact footprint and delivers highly accurate results. Moreover, its BetterClean design also enables effortless cleaning, and the convenient status light indicates the current progress of a measurement. The MA37 is therefore ideal for operations involving identical routine measurement tasks, guiding you step by step throughout moisture analysis.

Applications

The MA37 moisture analyzer is designed for quick and reliable determination of the moisture content of liquids, pastes and solids using the thermogravimetric method. The MA37 is perfectly suited to daily recurring moisture analysis tasks, such as in production or incoming goods inspection.

Performance

Fully automatic endpoint determination eliminates the inconvenience of time-consuming screening of shutoff parameters. The moisture analyzer monitors the drying process and ends the measurement once it detects a constant sample weight. The built-in weighing system with 1 mg resolution has been specially optimized for use in higher temperature ranges, delivering the required measurement accuracy. A high- performance metal tube heater heats the samples in the MA37. This heater unit is fast, extremely rugged and durable. Unlike glass heating lamps, such as infrared lamps or halogen heaters, it is especially resistant to dirt and vibration. The functionality of the MA37 can be verified at any time by running the built-in performance test with a ReproEasy pad.
