The LMA200PM laboratory moisture analyzer has been specially
designed for fast moisture analysis of aqueous solutions with
water contents of 8% to 100%.
Description of Functions
The sample is applied to a glass fiber pad and evenly heated
using microwave technology, which causes the moisture in the
sample to evaporate. The homogenous distribution of micro-
waves enables rapid drying of the sample. The drying stage of
the procedure takes approximately 40 to 120 seconds.
The moisture content of the sample material is calculated from
the weights of the sample before and after drying, which are
measured by a built-in analytical weighing system. The loss-on-
drying technique enables direct determination of the wet and
dry weights.
A built-in, low-noise thermal printer records the results of analy-
sis on a user-defined GLP-compliant printout.
The LMA200PM is a particularly rugged and easy-to-operate
microwave analyzer that has the performance capability required
for state-of-the-art laboratory tasks:
– Rugged and durable
– Easy to clean and disinfect
