Answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How accurate are the measurements with small sample quantities?
Meaningful measurements can be obtained with a minimum filling of just 0.02 g. The high readability of 0.001 g or 0.01 % ensures very precise results, especially with small quantities.
What are the advantages of the halogen lamp heating system?
The halogen lamp system ensures extremely fast, uniform heating of the sample. This significantly reduces the measurement time while at the same time enabling gentle drying of sensitive materials.
How is data transferred?
Results and methods can be conveniently evaluated and documented via USB or RS232C interfaces as well as via the integrated print function - ideal for laboratory environments with documentation requirements.
What programmes and measurement methods are available?
The device offers individually selectable methods such as automatic, time-controlled, fast or particularly gentle drying processes - flexibly adaptable for a wide variety of sample types.
Are there options for user-defined method management?
Up to 10 methods and 100 measurement results can be stored in the internal memory and retrieved at any time, which ensures efficiency, especially for routine analyses.
Summary
This model is one of the best solutions currently available for precise moisture content determination in a wide range of industries. Fast drying cycles, maximum measurement accuracy, versatile setting options and particularly user-friendly operation combine to create a reliable laboratory instrument that effectively supports tasks in quality management, research and production.
