Unmatched Performance

The Sartorius MA160 Infrared Moisture Analyzer uses industry-leading 600-watt AURI heating units for uniform heating and homogenous sample drying. These advanced heating units are more durable and damage-resistant than conventional heating elements such as halogen heaters and infrared lamps. In addition to exceptional build quality, the Sartorius MA160 Infrared Moisture Analyzer heats up faster and is more resistant to ambient effects like dirt or vibration than other glass heating lamps.

Automated Processes for Greater Efficiency

The Sartorius MA160 Infrared Moisture Analyzer improves accuracy and precision with fully automatic endpoint determination. This feature eliminates time-intensive shut-off parameter screenings by ending the measurement process as soon as a constant sample weight is detected.

Extensive Customization

The integrated Method Development Assistant allows users to conveniently and intuitively develop new analysis methods custom-tailored to a wide variety of samples and laboratory and production tasks. The MA160 uses a simple three-test process to prove new analysis methods before final deployment. At the same time, the integrated library allows users to safely save up to 100 analysis methods for quick and easy deployment. Researchers can easily verify the performance of any analysis method on their MA160 Infrared Moisture Analyzer using the integrated ReproEasy pad, which provides a performance report in five minutes or less.
