Moisture Analyzer (MB MO-SE-1) General The MB-MO-SE1 has been designed to control the atmosphere of the MBRAUN Systems for residual moisture content. The measuring range is 0 to 500 ppmv, where the lower range up to 50 ppmv is linear and over 50 ppmv is only used to estimate the moisture content of the inert gas atmosphere.

Page 86 Chapter 14 Analyzers Caution! Be cautious when handling phophorous acid. Do wear protective gloves and goggles. Any phosphorous acid getting in contact with your skin should be immediately rinsed off using running water. When getting in contact with your eyes, the acid should be immediately rinsed also using running water, afterwards you should immediately consult a doctor.
