Sartorius has introduced the LMA200PM moisture analyzer. Within 40 to 120 seconds it delivers precise results on the moisture content of the substance tested. The instrument uses the loss-on-drying technique and heats the sample with microwave radiation, which is a very effective drying method, particularly for materials that contain a high proportion of water. At the same time, the analyzer’s integrated analytical weighing system with a resolution of 0.1 mg ensures high precision for determining wet and dry weights of the sample, which form the basis for calculation of loss on drying.
A color touchscreen provides very good readability and easy operation. Just one key is required in routine operation; all other steps are automatic, and plain-language guidance texts support the operator. The results of measurement are locked into the display until the user presses a key to start the next analysis.
