MA35 | MA100 | MA150 | Accessories

Thermogravimetric analysis: rapid and reliable: Unlike the conventional oven drying and analytical balance method, the Sartorius MA combines both instruments in a unit based on the same principle: moisture removal using heat. The difference is in the speed. Within 3 to 15 minutes the Sartorius MA units accomplish what takes hours for the conventional method of moisture analysis. Moreover, the Sartorius method is much more reliable because a microprocessor controls all functions (temperature, time, weight) and does all the calculating to avoid operating and procedural errors, saving the operator time

Easy to operate: The Sartorius MA moisture analyzers are very easy to operate: the user does not need any prior experience. Sartorius provides an Application Guide listing routines and procedures for many types of products. This guide is the result of many years of experience with moisture analysis technology. All Sartorius moisture analyzers are capable of displaying analysis results in percentage moisture, percentage dry weight (solids), ratio in percentage, residue in grams, etc. They are ideal for the food, building materials, wood and cork, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

Sartorius MA35 Moisture Analyzers

The Sartorius MA35 Moisture Analyzer has a rugged design and is user-friendly. The concise display shows the user all important information at a single glance. Easy-to-understand icons guide you in three steps from taring the sample pan to starting the measurement. To make the MA35 even more user-friendly, we have done away with seldom-used programming options without compromising flexibility or measurement accuracy.

• Maximum weighing capacity of 35 g with 1-mg resolution
• Temperature range from 40 – 160°C
• Shows results in % moisture, % total solids and in weight
• Yields results in 5-15 minutes with automatic mode (depends on sample makeup and size)
• Heating of a sample by two powerful metal tubular-shaped heating elements (also called dark radiators) Uniform distribution of the heat rays using an integrated reflector
• Choice of two modes for end-point determination of a measurement: fully automatic and timer modes
• Special version for compliance with FDA/HACCP regulations (no glass components)

Sartorius MA100 Moisture Analyzers

The Sartorius MA 100 moisture balance features the highest possible measuring accuracy that a thermogravimetric moisture analyzer can currently offer. With the accuracy of an analytical balance, the MA 100 delivers exact results within minutes and excellent reproducibility. On top of this, its extensive functions offer a high level of flexibility to meet frequently changing requirements on the parameters of different types of samples or on the sequence of analysis. Ideal for quality control and research and development.

• Measurement of the moisture content from 0.05 % to 100 %
• Weighing capacity of 100 g with 0.1-mg weight resolution
• Shows results in % moisture, % total solids and in weight
• Choice of either ceramic (C) or halogen (H) heating element
• Motorized heating element slides over sample to ensure stable initial weight reading
• In addition to timed and automatic mode, for optimal results, the "asap" mode will automatically determine the best drying parameters
• 30 programmed memories
• Backlit display ensures optimal readability under any lighting conditions
• ISO/GLP compliant printout-capable with optioinal integrated printer
• Yields results in 5-15 minutes with automatic mode (depends on sample makeup and size)
• Automatic endpoint searching/automatic programming to determine the best possible parameters at the touch of a key
• Fast heating of a sample by choice of ceramic heating element, a halogen lamp or a CQR-coiled quartz radiator, all of which are infrared heaters
• Fast and easy control of the accuracy through DIN/ISO-compliant self-testing and self-calibrating capabilities thanks to the built-in calibration weight, reproTEST function and temperature adjustment set (accessory)

Sartorius MA150 Moisture Analyzers

The Sartorius MA150 moisture analyzer is synonymous with easy operation and a time-tested, space saving housing design for routine use in the laboratory, incoming inspection and in-process control.

• 150 g weighing capacity with 1 mg resolution
• Shows results in % moisture, % total solids, % dry weight, % ratio, g residue, d/kg residue
• Yields results in 5-15 minutes with automatic mode (depends on sample makeup and size)
• Operating temperature range from 40° C to 220° C
• Homogenous sample heating with a choice of ceramic radiator or CQR quartz heating element (both infrared)
• Shutoff modes: fully automatic, programmable semi-automatic or timer
• RS232 interface for automated systems
• Conforms to FDA requirements with optional metal panels in place of glass panels (SV2 versions)
