Moisture Balance
New from A&D - The ML-50 Moisture Analyzer offering the latest in weighing technology implementing the Super Hybrid Sensor at an extremely low price.

The innovative Heat Chamber houses a 400 Watt Halogen heating lamp producing fast and accurate results aided by its uniquely designed SRA (Secondary Radiation Assist) Filter, which serves to radiate heat uniformly, protect the lamp from splatter during testing and provide a Progress Monitoring Translucent Glass Window.  The SRA filter is easy to clean ensuring optimum performance while the halogen lamp is user replaceable.  This of course will save time and money and minimize down time and labor costs.

The Vacuum Fluorescent Display allows the results to be clearly displayed even in areas with poor lighting.  The large keypads and intuitive embedded software makes the A&D ML-50 moisture balance a breeze to use walking you through the convenient test setup parameters.

Attention to the placement of handles make the unit safe to use minimizing burn related mishaps.

Add it all up and A&D is Clearly a Better Value over all the other moisture balances on the market today!

Sodium Tartrate Dihydrate
can be purchased optionally for verifying the performance the ML-50 moisture balance.  Sodium Tartrate Dihydrate is a chemical used in the industry as a standard since it contains 15.66% of a chemically uniform moisture.  However, depending on the state of the preservation of the material the moisture of 0.1% or less adheres to the surface of it.
Moisture Analyzer
Checking the performance of the moisture balance is simple.  Preheat the unit for about eight minutes at 160°C, then put about 5 grams of Sodium Tartrate Dihydrate in the moisture balance.  The moisture content rate of 15.50 - 16.00% is obtained in a typical measurement.

 A&D technology increases your productivity

  • Fast heat to 200°C in only 2 minutes
  • Uniform heating drastically improved by SRA technology
  • SRA filter stops contamination from spatter of the test sample
  • Removable SRA filter makes for easy cleaning
  • User replaceable Halogen lamp cuts cost and down time
  • GLP compliant format when printed results are required

A&D know-how gives superior analytical performance

  • Repeatability of 0.1% (S.D.) in moisture determination
  • 50 gram capacity by 5 mg readability
    (MX-50 readability to 1mg while MF-50 is 2mg)
  • Programmable Heating Mode Memory
  • Easy to read Vacuum Fluorescent Display
  • Standard RS232 port for connection to optional printer.
Moisture Content AnalyzerAll A&D moisture analyzers measure moisture thermogravimetrically.  Thermogravimetric moisture analysis is based on the principles of vaporization of water during the during process.  The moisture balances monitors the weight loss of a sample as the material is heated.  The sample weight prior to heating and after reaching a steady-state mass after drying determines the moisture content.  The halogen bulb produces the heating of the sample by infrared radiation.  The thermogravimetric method offers advantages over moisture determination using a chemical method such as Karl Fisher Titration.  Thermogravimetric moisture analysis is simple to perform and adaptable to many conditions verses Karl Fisher Titration can be subjective, and require the handling and disposal of solvents and potentially hazardous materials.

Moisture in FoodDownload the A&D User' Handbook.  it's loaded with information including measurement and performance Q&A, examples of data results & analysis, overview of Win CT moisture analysis software and more.  You'll learn about the principles of how the A&D moisture balance determines percent moisture implementing basically a wet - dry analysis.  Additional review of other available technologies for determining moisture such as the Karl Fischer method are covered.  Learn the benefits & disadvantages of several processes available to analyze moisture content.  Finally the user' handbook covers expected measurement results along with optimum temperature settings & drying times for a myriad of samples from dried dog food to peanut butter, calcium carbonate to aluminum oxide or yogurt to cheese.  After review this information you'll be a moisture guru.
 
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 A&D ML50 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.


***WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THE ML-50 FOR PLASTIC APPLICATIONS OR FOR TESTING PLASTIC OR NYLON OR RESIN SAMPLES.  THE ONLY MOISTURE ANALYZER WE RECOMMEND FOR THIS APPLICATION IS THE MA100C***
