The MA50 Series Moisture Balances have been discontinued by Sartorius and no longer in production.  Replacement is the MA100.

Sartorius MA50C Moisture Analyzer features a Ceramic IR heating element.  Ceramic rapidly attains the final temperature to ensure a uniform distribution of infrared rays over the entire sample surface, thus eliminating localized burning.  Flexible for use in research, development and quality control and designed for years of use in demanding production environments.

Other innovations include integration of the heat source into the chamber cover.  The motorized heating unit opens and shuts at the touch of a key eliminating the need to use a hood (models designed with a hood include A&D MX-50/MF-50 moisture balance, the Mettler Toledo HB43, Ohaus MB35/MB45 moisture analyzer, Sartorius MA45 to name a few).  This motorized system minimizes handling of the sample, speeding up the process and thereby preventing predrying during weigh-in.  The motorized heat source also reduces exposure of the weighing mechanism to mechanical vibration.

Whenever quality must be assured every time Precision Weighing Balances recommends the Sartorius brand over all others.  For more than 25 years, Sartorius has been a leading supplier of equipment for rapid gravimetric moisture analysis and we offer full line of Sartorius Moisture Analyzers to meet just about every need.  Review additional technical data on the Sartorius MA50C Moisture Analyzer here.

Graphic LCD with backlit to ensure easy viewing even in poor lighting environments.
The moisture analyzer is operated whether using the keys on the display and control unit or a PC connected via the RS-232	MoistureConnect data transfer software, for reading weighing data into a PC is a $425.00 option for the Sartorius MA-Series.  Collecting data and generating graphics(drying curves)
The display is divided into section providing clear information of the operation running.  The top of the display shows the drying program and test function in process.	Infrared rays penetrate the sample without being impeded.  Having reached the interior of a sample, they are converted into heat energy, which stimulates evapaoration, thus drying the sample.
User-friendly design with pull out quick reference menu for easy of operation	Optional data printer integrated into the analyzer housing to meet ISO/GLP requirements
Easy to clean design	Rear of unit features RS-232 interface and fuse holders.
The heating element can be easily interchanged	Optional Sartorius Printer provides GLP/GMP printouts.  ISO / GLP compliance

"We did not invent the product, but we made it better" is a famous quote from BASF and we feel the same with our new RS-232 to USB converter kit for Sartorius Balances exclusively found at Precision Weighing Balances.  Your Authorized Sartorius Dealer and known throughout the world for deep discount prices. Our USB to Serial Adapter kit for Sartorius Balances (our part # SARUSB) offers you the best of both world.  If you want to interface the Sartorius Scale with a RS-232 serial port you simply disconnect the 1 foot RS-232 to USB cable. Eliminate IRQ conflicts by going USB.  Connect your Sartorius balance to any PC running the Windows OS using HyperTerminal or purchase a third party software wedge.  We offer step by step instructions how to use HyperTerminal here. This kit's only $84.95 and it's custom made for www.balances.com

Warning - Moisture balances should not be used on any volatile organic sample with flash points.  Even a MSDS rating of 1.  Samples with low flask points like Acetaldehyde -38°C or MEK -4°C should not be used with the Sartorius MA-50C Moisture Balance and maybe you should look at Karl Fisher as an alternative. Although you might presently perform analysis with an oven on these samples the ovens typically have ventilation and a much larger cavity than the typical moisture balance that operates on the principles of TGA.  In addition, with most moisture balances there is no ventilation so all the fumes remain inside the hood of the moisture balance.  We strongly recommend you consult with a safety specialist always prior to using any moisture balances for your safety.
