Stablo EX two-way ioniser generates a balanced mix of positively and negatively charged ions that eliminate static on laboratory samples, allowing them to be weighed accurately with high repeatability
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (SSI) has introduced the Stablo EX two-way ioniser, which generates a balanced mix of positively and negatively charged ions that eliminate static on lab samples, allowing them to be weighed accurately with high repeatability.
Stablo EX uses AC voltage to power its corona, delivering a stream of positive and negative ions in rapid alternation from its discharge needle, so the unit will not create an inverse charge - the mirror problem to static - yielding an electrically neutral outcome.
An integrated blower fully disperses the ions over a wide area, and can be turned off for use with powders.
Compact and weighing just 110grams, Stablo EX can be hand held for use in any location or enclosure, or it can be easily attached to its adjustable mounting stand for hands-free operation with any electronic balance.
"Labs and manufacturing facilities continuously battle with measurement problems caused by static charge - inaccurate results, drift, poor repeatability," said Steve Wildberger, technical specialist.
"Stablo EX solves these problems, and it's durable and portable, making it a true multi-tasker."
