The rapid microwave sample dryer, SAM 255™, is a unique instrument for rapidly drying samples up to 1kg. This microwave drying system can be used for moisture analysis or as a preparatory step for further analysis. This microwave system shortens drying times from hours to minutes while maintaining the precision typically associated with conventional oven methods.
Almost any material can be dried using microwave energy, as the volatile component can be water or a wide range of polar organic compounds. The system also features a unique design that avoids problems with reflected power, ensuring complete and efficient drying of samples, something that conventional microwave ovens often struggle to achieve.
Features:
- Ultra fast drying of paint/coating drawdowns
- Fast drying of large sample sizes up to 1kg
- Simultaneous drying of multiple samples
- Reduce drying times from hours to minutes
- Stores up to 20 separate methods
- Each method can have up to 8 heating or cooling ramp stages
- Reproducible results comparable to a standard air oven method
Sample types:
- Drawdowns
- Fiberglass bowties
- Wood/pulp products
- Environmental materials
- Bulk powdered milk
As a rapid microwave sample dryer, the SAM 255™ ensures effective and efficient drying of various sample types. It delivers consistent results in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods.
The SAM 255 is available with workstation options that include a 100 g balance with 0.0001 g sensitivity. This workstation creates a complete center for accurate moisture or solids measurements in large samples.
