Able Instruments and Controls has released the Computrac Max 5000XL moisture and ash analyser, which has a temperature-controlled balance to provide users with more stable and accurate measurements.
The Computrac Max 5000XL also features a temperature ramp control feature that allows the Max 5000XL to be used for qualitative analyses that were previously only possible using a thermogravimetric analyser (TGA).
The Max 5000XL features the same user interface and design as its predecessor, the Max 5000.
The Max 5000XL is designed to accurately analyse materials with ash concentrations of as little as 0.5 per cent.
Results gained from this test are similar to a scan performed by a thermogravimetric analyser.
This feature effectively transforms the Max 5000XL into a dual-use instrument capable of quantitatively testing for moisture and ash and qualitatively testing for the presence of certain organic or inorganic ingredients, as well as the degradation temperature of the material under test.
