For routine moisture determination in laboratory and production
Description
This is the instrument of choice for the repetitive, routine moisture determination of the same few samples in the lab or in production, if: - fast and reproducible results shall be obtained;
- up to two different drying methods are needed and;
- accurate and reproducible results by sample specific settings are required
Samples are heated fast and uniform with halogen technology for quick and accurate results. Two direct method keys make the instrument easy to use. Switch between the drying methods at the click of one button. Each method name is displayed in clear text for error-free operation. The application method parameters can be optimized for accuracy and speed.
Features and Benefits
| Halogen heating for best results The circular halogen lamp ensures quick, uniform sample heating for reproducible results within minutes - right from the first sample. No preheating required. Halogen heating reaches the target temperature faster and heats the sample homogeneous over the entire surface. | ![]() |
| 2 direct method keys Switch between two drying methods at the click of one button. The method name is displayed in clear text. For easy and error-free operation. | ![]() |
| Brilliant display with clear text method names The large and brilliant display is easy to read. Customizable method names ('MySubstance'). | ![]() |
| Rugged and easy to clean The rugged design has proven itself consistently over time. If samples should be spilled, flat surfaces and excellent access to the sample chamber makes cleaning easy. | ![]() |
| Method Library get's you started fast More than 100 ready-to-use methods simplify method development. Pick a method from the library and start measuring immediately. Or edit the settings to match your needs. All methods correspond to official reference methods. | ![]() |
| Fast Analyses are often urgent. For this reason the HB43-S has a predefined rapid drying program. | ![]() |
