Sartorius MA160 Moisture Analyzer: Precision and Efficiency for Complex Moisture Analysis
Introduction to the Sartorius MA160 Moisture Analyzer
The Sartorius MA160 Moisture Analyzer represents the pinnacle of German engineering in moisture content determination, offering fast, accurate, and fully automated analysis for a wide range of industries. Designed for laboratories, quality control (QC) departments, and production facilities, the MA160 combines high-speed drying technology, intelligent method development, and robust performance testing to deliver reliable results with minimal user intervention.
Built with infrared thermogravimetric technology, the MA160 is ideal for analyzing solids, pastes, and liquids across industries such as pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, chemicals, paper, and environmental testing. With its Method Development Assistant, SD card data transfer, and 100 stored methods, this analyzer simplifies complex workflows while ensuring compliance with GLP, ISO, and industry standards.
Key Features & Benefits
1. High-Speed & Precise Moisture Determination
- 600W AURI heating system ensures uniform drying (30% faster than conventional IR lamps).
- Fully automatic endpoint detection stops measurement when weight stabilizes, eliminating guesswork.
- Readability: 1 mg (0.01%) with ±0.05% reproducibility (for samples >5g).
- Temperature range: 40°C – 200°C (1°C increments) with standby heating (50°C–120°C).
2. Smart Method Development & Storage
- Method Development Assistant creates optimized drying profiles in just 3 test runs.
- Stores up to 100 methods with customizable parameters (drying modes, shutoff criteria).
- SD card import/export for easy method sharing across multiple analyzers.
3. User-Friendly Operation & Compliance
- Touchscreen interface with multilingual support (English, Chinese, French, Japanese, etc.).
- Auto-calibration verification with ReproEasy test pads (5-minute performance check).
- GLP-compliant printouts via optional YDP30 printer or USB data export.
- 999-result memory for traceability and audit trails.
4. Rugged Design & Easy Maintenance
- Removable hood & sample chamber for dishwasher-safe cleaning.
- Durable AURI heater (resistant to contamination, unlike halogen lamps).
- SoftClose mechanism prevents accidental damage during sample handling.
