Sartorius Mark 3 HP Moisture Analyzer

The Sartorius Mark 3 HP Moisture Analyzer is a high-precision, modular infrared moisture analysis system engineered for exceptional accuracy, speed, and operational flexibility in both laboratory and production environments. Designed as a robust alternative to Karl-Fischer titration and traditional oven-drying methods, it features a high-resolution monolithic weighing system paired with four parallel quartz infrared heating cylinders, enabling precise thermogravimetric loss-on-drying measurement even for extremely dry or difficult sample types. The system accommodates moisture contents ranging from 0.001% to 99.999% and supports both single- and two-phase drying programs, with temperatures adjustable from 30 to 210°C in one-degree increments and optional programmable ramp rates. Integrated two-phase drying allows simultaneous evaluation of surface and total moisture, improving characterization and reducing overall analysis time.

Engineered for reliability, the Mark 3 HP includes automatic calibration functions, extensive security settings for traceability, and a battery-backed memory capable of storing up to 300 programs and statistical data from the last 999 measurements. Users benefit from multiple endpoint determination modes: timer, weight-loss trend, or defined stability criteria, ensuring consistency across diverse workflows. Its modular design supports optional expansion to four heater modules, enabling true parallel measurements for high-throughput operations, whether performing a handful of tests per day or several hundred. The intuitive interface offers one-button measurement, password protection, real-time graphical curves for both weight loss and temperature, and a backlit VGA display for clear visualization. Additional conveniences include an integrated thermal printer, a wide range of display modes (including mg loss, % moisture, % dry weight, ppm values, volatiles, and concentration), and configurable pass-fail criteria for quality-control environments.

With compatibility for solids, liquids, and pastes, the Mark 3 HP is ideal for applications across food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, plastics, chemicals, cosmetics, pulp and paper, biomass, building materials, paints and coatings, and water purification. Its combination of analytical precision, operational speed, modular scalability, and user-friendly design makes it a powerful and versatile moisture analysis solution for demanding workflows.

All of our equipment is in excellent condition and will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
