Mark 3 HP and Mark 3 LTE Moisture Analyzer

The Mark 3 moisture analyser is designed to reduce uncertainties commonly encountered in instruments operating on loss-on-drying principles. Integrating the most advanced heat-resistant electronic balance with a heating chamber designed for near-zero heat-insulated sample container holding and balance uncertainty, the Mark 3 will increase accuracy and precision for analytical results of your most challenging samples. These features make Mark 3 a genuine alternative to Karl-Fischer titration. Mark 3 is available in High Performance and LTE versions (standard).

Features

• Four parallel infrared quartz cylinders for heating. • Up to 4 heating modules per control unit. • Large sample capacity. • Superior inter-unit correlation. • In-house testing. • Built-in printer. • Superior drift characteristics. • Monolithic weighing cell. • Multiple operating modes. • Dual temperature set-point feature. • Moisture measurement between 0.001% and 99.999%.

Applications

• Plastics. • Pharmaceuticals. • Food. • Chemicals. • Cosmetics. • Sugar. • Paints and coatings. • Paper and derivatives. • Waste treatment. • Dairy products. • Ethanol. Thanks to four parallel infrared quartz cylinders, ±10°C full temperature control, rapid rise to the appropriate temperature without overheating and fast cooling between tests in shorter periods by preventing sample burning. Up to 4 heating modules per control unit, with the ability to add 1 to 3 additional heating modules, enables you to increase test efficiency. All heating modules are interrelated and ensure that your results are consistent between units. Superior drift characteristics - the monolithic weighing cell and chamber design provide more accurate results by minimizing deviation. Among standard operating methods are % moisture, syringe mode for testing % solids and volatiles, TGA mode for free and bound moisture, and extrapolation mode which delivers fast accurate answers while shortening test times.

Application Development and Support

When you purchase a Mark 3 series unit, Sartorius will test your sample and develop a programme associated with a Standard Reference Method. This service is provided free of charge. We have currently tested and designed programmes for more than 10,000 materials.   Mustafa Yetim Sales Manager Sartonet Separation Technologies Inc.
