Able is pleased to announce the release of the The Computrac® MAX® 5000XL moisture and ash analyser.

The new MAX® 5000XL features the same intuitive user interface and rugged design as its predecessor, the MAX® 5000. Improvements to the design and high temperature performance of the balance system of the MAX® 5000XL now make it possible to accurately analyze materials with ash concentrations of as little as 0.5%.

Results gained from this test are similar to a scan performed by a more expensive thermogravimetric analyzer. This new 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, and the degradation temperature of the material under test.

It’s key features are:-

· Measures Moisture or Solids from 0.1% to 99.9% in Minutes
· Sample Sizes from 200mg to 100gm
· Temperatures from 25-600°C
· Temperature Ramping in 1°C Increments for Sample Characterization
· Linked Test Capability for Multiple Results from a Single Sample
· Inert Gas Purge Capability
· Security Access Codes to Protect Programs or Instrument Settings
· Computer Interface or Company Intranet Access Capable
· Stores up to 250 User-Programmable Parameter Settings



Additional Features include:
· Customizable test parameters to optimize results
· Flexible ending criteria ensure accurate test results
· Ashing-rate program controls ignition to minimize flashing
· Real-time graphing of weight loss, rate and end point prediction
· Foil and syringe weight entry mode for the most volatile samples
· Nitrogen gas purge minimizes oxidation of samples and flashing of volatiles
· Weight control aids operators and improves test precision
· Durable, cast aluminium case is dirt and vibration resistant
· Statistical function calculates mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation between tests
· Alphanumeric programmable prompts for sample ID and lot numbers
· Self cleaning oven simplifies routine maintenance
