The Sartorius MA150-FDA conforms to FDA requirements when metal panels are in place of glass window panels (MA150 standard version has glass window panels).  If you're working in the food processing industry the FDA/ HACCP regulations do not want instrumentation with glass in the production area for food, because if glass breaks it would create a hazard and could fall into the food.

Other competitive models like the A&D MX-50/MF-50 moisture balance, the Mettler Toledo HB43, Ohaus MB35/MB45 moisture analyzer & other several other brands use a GLASS halogen lamp as the heating source.  Not the Sartorius MA150, the heating source is a Ceramic IR heating element.  Ceramic offers stable, consistent and fast heating because it distributes heat rays very evenly over the entire sample surface.  Ceramic elements also last longer, while halogen bulbs burn out and need to be replaced. 

Typical applications for this moisture analyzer include regular random sampling and incoming inspection in the food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, and building materials industries as well as in environmental monitoring.  You name it, the MA150-FDA will analyze it - wherever you need to obtain fast and reliable moisture analysis results.

The Sartorius MA150 features a timer mode and fully automatic mode for end-point determination, the MA150 also has a manually adjustable semi-automatic mode.  The Sartorius MA150 replaces the Sartorius MA45 analyzer and the weighing capacity has been extended to 150 g, and its weight resolution is accurate to 1 mg using the rugged patented monolithic weigh cell by Sartorius.

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.

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-45 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.
