Traditional Moisture Analysis Of Lyophilized Materials Comes With Many Problems

It is expensive, complicated and requires hazardous materials. There are also several interferences that can bias test results including mercaptans, ketones, high pH materials and various functional additives.

Using Relative Humidity (RH) Sensing Technology; a Solvent-free Alternative to Karl Fischer Titration

The Health Care industry has increased its needs for specialized devices over the past decade, which has led to a new frontier of resin and polymer development designed to keep the quality of care high while minimizing cost.

The Quality of Pet Food – ABLE’s Computrac® MAX® 5000XL Moisture, Solids and Ash analyser holds the key

For dogs, the most popular type of pet food is dry and – as you might expect – each brand tends to vary in moisture and ash content as well as in ingredient composition. Therefore, to ensure the highest quality product, commercial pet food manufacturers must carefully monitor the ingredients, mineral levels and moisture content in their pet foods to maintain a high level of consistency.

Maximizing Power from Biomass

With the world’s population projected to eclipse 7 billion in 2011, and growing at approximately 1.2% per year, finding useable energy resources has become a global challenge. Diminishing supply and environmental concerns have been brought to light in recent years, exposing fossil fuels, currently the world’s primary source of energy, as unsustainable and potentially harmful to the environment. Because of this, clean renewable energy sources are controlling more of the available market, and biomass is one of the leading options on this front.

Understanding and Controlling the Moisture and Ash Content of Biomass Fuel

Biomass is a form of renewable energy obtained from live organic materials or materials that were recently alive. Alcohol fuels, black liquor, refuse, corn husks and wood pellets are typical examples of materials that are categorized as biomass....

Instant Loss on Ignition Results for Trommel Fines

Many issues have been raised with HMRC’s proposed Loss on Ignition (LOI) testing regime for landfill taxes, including concerns that tests will take too long to be actionable and will cost too much to perform with any regularity. This may indeed be true for samples sent to a laboratory, but there is an alternative: the Computrac® MAX® 5000XL. The Computrac provides accurate loss-on-ignition test results in minutes, requires no operator skill, and is very inexpensive to operate.

The Water Factor in Medical Device Resins

The Health Care industry has increased its needs for specialized devices over the past decade, which has led to a new frontier of resin and polymer development designed to keep the quality of care high while minimizing cost.
