4. Operating Your Moisture Analyzer

Once the Moisture Analyzer parameters have been set, moisture determinations can be made very simply. There are
three simple steps to perform: 1. Setting the drying temperature, 2. Setting the drying time and 3. Preparing the
sample.

4.3 Sample Preparation
Please keep in mind the importance of preparing your sample, the distribution of the sample on the weighing pan,
the type of sample and the temperature range. Remember, the greater the number of uniform samples tested, the
greater the accuracy of the results.

Results of substances which form crusts (e.g. glucose syrup) or pasty substances (e.g. butter) can be consider -
ably improved by mixing with quartz sand.
• • • • •
For pasty, fat containing and melting substances, use of a glass fiber filter is advantageous to increase the
surface area of the sample.

The use of a glass fiber filter can be useful for temperature-sensitive and skin forming substances. In this case,
the sample to be dried is covered by the filter and thus receives a "new surface".
