Monitoring moisture content

Monitoring moisture content on both incoming and outgoing products is a very important part of many industrial processes.

However, lengthy analysis can potentially hold up production and so what is needed is a fast but consistent and reliable estimation, and one that can be performed by both technical and non technical operators.

The XM60 and XM120 moisture analysing balances allow you to do all of these simultaneously.

They are fast, consistent and very easy to operate

Is a simple yet comprehensive instrument able to become an irreplaceable partner for every food and animal feed lab.

Based on the well-known process of Flash Dynamic Combustion, which produces complete combustion of the sample followed by an accurate and precise determination of the elemental gases produced
Suitable for organic or inorganic samples; oxidation reactor reaches a temperature of 1800°C, allowing complete conversion to elemental gas of even those samples containing refractory material
Converts compounds to gas without operations which could introduce deviations or errors such as dilution, gas chamber, gas sampling valve, splitting, or purge and trap pathway
Provides a quick analytical cycle; rapid methodology requires less than five minutes for a complete sample characterization
Process can be easily automated with solid or liquid autosamplers
Dedicated chromatography column connected to a highly sensitive thermal conductivity detector ensures wide detection range from 100 ppm to 100%
Unlike the traditional Kjeldahl technique for nitrogen determination, operations with the FLASH 2000 N/Protein Analyzer do not involve any toxic or polluting substances
Eliminates need for exhaust fans and fume hoods and the expensive disposal of analytical residues
Simplicity of design, coupled with accuracy owed to the electronic carrier gas controls, results in constant reproducibility and reduced number of calibrations
System benefits from very short instrument maintenance times and self diagnostics
Configurability makes it possible to modify the analyzer at any time to accommodate an extended range of market applications for N/Protein analyses
Dedicated Eager Xperience software is able to satisfy virtually every analytical request (i.e., evaluate and present the data, and provide personalized reporting and dedicated features for QC labs)
Upgradable to automatic simultaneous determination of Nitrogen/Carbon/Sulfur or Sulfur only; TOC after off-line sample pre-treatment
Delivered with Thermo Scientific MAS 200R universal autosampler which can allow up to 125 samples to be processed automatically
Two liquid autosamplers available; Thermo Scientific AI 3000 with an 8-sample tray or Thermo Scientific AS 3000 which boasts a 105 position tray

Compatible with:
¦Thermo Scientific AI 3000 autosampler
¦Thermo Scientific AS 3000 autosampler

Compliance: The validity of the FLASH 2000 principle in the Nitrogen/Protein field has been approved by official organizations including AOAC, AOCS and AACC
