Sartorius MA35 The MA35 is the new basic model in the Moisture Analyzer series from Sartorius. Its performance functions are geared toward daily routine process as performed during in-process control.	MA150 The compact class that gives maximum performance and takes minimum space. Successor to the proven MA45 model, MA150 has the same design and offers a higher weighing capacity and more functionality.
MA100 Moisture analyzers featuring the ultimate in measuring accuracy and functionality.

Thermogravimetric analysis: rapid and reliable: Unlike the conventional oven drying and analytical balance method, the Sartorius MA combines both instruments in a unit based on the same principle: moisture removal using heat. The difference is in the speed. Within 3 to 15 minutes the Sartorius MA units accomplish what takes hours for the conventional method of moisture analysis. Moreover, the Sartorius method is much more reliable because a microprocessor controls all functions (temperature, time, weight) and does all the calculating to avoid operating and procedural errors, saving the operator time

Easy to operate: The Sartorius MA moisture analyzers are very easy to operate: the user does not need any prior experience. Sartorius provides an Application Guide listing routines and procedures for many types of products. This guide is the result of many years of experience with moisture analysis technology. All Sartorius moisture analyzers are capable of displaying analysis results in percentage moisture, percentage dry weight (solids), ratio in percentage, residue in grams, etc. They are ideal for the food, building materials, wood and cork, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

Sartorius MA35 Moisture Analyzers

The Sartorius MA35 Moisture Analyzer has a rugged design and is user-friendly. The concise display shows the user all important information at a single glance. Easy-to-understand icons guide you in three steps from taring the sample pan to starting the measurement. To make the MA35 even more user-friendly, we have done away with seldom-used programming options without compromising flexibility or measurement accuracy.

Retail Price: $835 - Our Price - $750

The Sartorius YDP03-OCE data printer has a built-in real-time clock and statistics programs -- designed for Sartorius balances equipped with an RS-232 interface. Text and data are printed with up to 24 characters per line and the unit is equipped with a real-time clock. A high contrast LCD shows the date or time as well as the current transaction number and integrated rechargeable batteries with battery level indicator. The printer runs on the balance's power -- no separate power supply is necessary. Easy to change paper roll and ink ribbon cassette.

The Sartorius YDP03-OCE data printer meets the quality standards of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries in compliance with the requirements of GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and GMP(Good manufacturing Practice).

In addition to recording individual weighing data the data printer can generate a statistical evaluation of weighing data. All values transferred from an on-line weighing instrument are stored. The following can be computed/printed out.

Number of weighing operations
Mean value
Standard deviation
Variation coefficient
Minimum value/weight
Maximum vale/weight
Difference between the maximum and minimum value/weight

The Sartorius YDP03-OCE data printer is powered by the Sartorius Balance via the printer cable that is supplied with the YDP03-OCE data printer. Turning ON the Sartorius balance when the printer is connected will automatically turn ON the printer. The rechargeable batteries with be charging when printer is not in use, but the balance is turned ON. The Sartorius YDP03-OCE uses a standard paper roll 57.5 mm ±0.5mm with a maximum diameter of 65mm.
