Moisture Analysis within a Fraction of a Second
Sartorius LMA300P
The LMA300P presented by the laboratory equipment provider Sartorius is a new moisture analyzer that operates based on microwave resonance technology. This procedure offers users two advantages to start off with in measuring the moisture of pourable and granulated products. For one, it enables exceptionally fast measurement in less than one second. For another, this technology is non-destructive; i.e., the sample is retained in its original condition and can be used for other subsequent tests.
Moreover, because preparation of a sample is not required in most cases, the LMA300P is among the fastest moisture analyzers on the market.
The LMA300P can be used for nearly any pourable and granulated products as well as viscous liquids, such as whitewash and other similar materials – its major areas of use are incoming quality tests and in-process control. Unlike in near infrared spectroscopy, changes in the color and surface structure of the sample, as can frequently occur, for instance, in natural raw materials, does not have any effect on calibration or thus on the measured result in microwave resonance technology.
