1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Antistatic ionizer is a device that removes excess of ions, both positive (cations) and
negative (anions), from the sample, weighing device's components and the environment.
Ionization is an operation aiming to neutralize electric charge of air molecules in order to
restore quasi-balance of positive and negative ions.
Imbalance of cations and anions in the air causes unwanted electric interaction (attraction
and repulsion) between objects located close one to another. This process is even more
intense in case of non-conductive materials (plastic, glass). When it comes to the weighing
device, its operation is affected by the said interactions due to the fact that some of the
device components are made of the said non-conductive materials.
Affected operation as a results gives greater repeatability error, often also greater error of
indication.
