The TGM800 provides a high precision, automated solution for moisture determination by replacing the slow, laborous, traditional loss-on-drying technique with an automated primary method. A number of time-saving features have been incorporated into this design, such as the ability to automatically measure up to 16 samples at a time with optional drying time end point recognition, and intuitive touch-screen software with flexible method settings. The TGM800 is applicable to a wide variety of sample matrices including food, feeds, milled products, and agricultural materials, making it a versatile solution for many laboratories.
Features
Automated loss-on-drying moisture analysis of up to:
16 samples using 1.5 inch diameter aluminum foil crucibles
10 samples using 2.4 inch diameter aluminum foil crucibles
Maximized throughput with rapid ramping of the oven temperature and fast cooling post analysis
Optimized drying time with automatic end point recognition based upon sample mass constancy
Limited sample interaction requirements for reduced operator handling time
Integrated 10.1 inch (diagonal) color LCD touch-screen with Cornerstone® software reduces instrument footprint, and promotes an ergonomic and efficient workflow
Theory Of Operation
The TGM800 is a thermogravimetric analyzer designed to directly determine moisture content of materials using a loss-on-drying technique. Mass loss of the sample is measured as a function of the oven temperature while controlling the atmosphere and ventilation rate.
