Density measurement redefined
T
hanks to Anton Paar’s latest innovation - the patented Pulsed Excitation Method - the company’s digital density meters have set new benchmarks in terms of repeatability and reproducibility. The top-of-the-line and unrivalled DMA 5000 M is the most precise digital density meter you can get.
Viscosity insight Thanks to PEM, the influence of viscosity is compensated twice as effectively as ever before across the entire viscosity range of samples. Even for Newtonian fluids, PEM
delivers the viscosity in addition to the density value with an accuracy of 5% in the range from 10mPa·s to 3 000mPa·s. Maximum ease of use The U-View camera feature displays and stores pin-sharp images of the entire oscillating U-tube sensor and the filled-in sample, so you have the details at hand at
Highest precision up to the seventh digit The new patented Pulsed Excitation Method (PEM) gains three times more information from the U-Tube’s oscillation characteristics compared to conventional methods. This allows Anton Paar to guarantee unparalleled repeatability and reproducibility for most accurate density values across the entire temperature range and makes DMA 5000 M ideal for highend R&D applications, authorities, as well as standards organisations.

Get moisture-analysis results in just four minutes ettler Toledo’s Excellence and Advanced moisture analysers are equipped with QuickPredict, a revolutionary advancement in moisture analyser functionality, reducing analyses that used to take 20 minutes or more down to just four minutes. This 80% improvement in time-to-result helps to maintain product quality while significantly enhancing throughput. Moisture content is often critical for quality control, both in-process and at the end of a production line. However, when you have to wait on results, it can create bottlenecks, tie up equipment and delay batch releases. QuickPredict offers a huge leap in productivity by being able to accurately estimate a sample’s moisture content in just four minutes. QuickPredict works because unique substances have distinct drying curves regardless of the amount of moisture present. These ‘fingerprints’ are used to build up substance-specific knowledge. Once this knowledge is established, the equipment can accurately predict the outcome of a measurement shortly after it starts. Setting up QuickPredict is easy. A wizard guides the user through the
any time. The combination of U-View and the automatic real-time bubble detection function, FillingCheck, monitors the entire measurement sequence and allows later verification of the results, which is particularly useful when using automatic sampling systems.
process step by step. Once the software is enabled, routine measurements, including pass/fail functionality, are performed at the click of a single button. Get your moisture-analysis method right with MethodWizard: Mettler Toledo’s moisture analysers have an integrated software functionality known as MethodWizard. This helpful question-andanswer feature will help you develop robust methods with minimal effort for enhanced moisture-analysis accuracy and productivity.

Get quality results with GMP Five steps to improved measuring results
M
ettler Toledo’s Good Measuring Practices (GMP), is a global program to support laboratory and production environments with quality assurance measures for weighing, titration, thermal analysis and pipetting applications, as well as for determining density index, refractive index, UV/VIS colour measurements, pH and conductivity values, and melting, dropping/softening point analysis. The GMP program comprises five steps to ensure optimal performance of laboratory equipment and devices: 1.Evaluation - Evaluation of the measuring needs of your processes and their associated risks, including regulatory requirements and norms relevant to your industry
2. Selection - Choosing the correct analytical system for laboratory workflows 3. Installation - Correct installation and training is crucial to guarantee accurate and reliable results from the start 4. Qualification Professionally executed equipment qualifications ensure conformity and establish accurate results 5. Routine operation Well-trained users and regularly maintained equipment reduce the risk of measurement errors and will ensure that your instrument is running at optimal performance Learn more about the GMP program for your required laboratory instrument at www.microsep.co.za/gxp MICROSEP (PTY) LTD Elisha Ramlal Tel: (011) 553 2300 Fax: (011) 553 2400 elisha.ramlal@microsep.co.za www.microsep.co.za
