White paper on routine testing of moisture analysers
A free white paper from Mettler Toledo explains why routine testing of moisture analysers is important. The simple and convenient 10-minute performance test it describes is said to give the user absolute confidence in their moisture measurements over time.

Called 'A Fast Routine Test Ensures Trusted Moisture Results', the white paper outlines the benefits of SmartCal, a highly temperature sensitive granular material that provides a rapid method for verification of the overall performance of a moisture analyser, testing both the heating and the weighing elements simultaneously. It also provides the ability to monitor the performance of a moisture analyser over time with straightforward, compliant graphic reporting.
SmartCal is said to be an ideal test substance because it releases a specific amount of moisture that is directly correlated to the selected drying temperature. When test results indicate that the instrument is behaving within the expected tolerances, it gives additional confidence in the validity of all measurements made since the previous SmartCal test.
The paper goes on to describe various scenarios that can affect the sensitivity of measuring equipment during operation, some of which can be difficult to control. This makes regular checks absolutely essential to ensure high quality results and prevent the need for repeat measurements, which eliminates time-consuming rework.
The paper will be of interest to quality managers and laboratory managers in industries such as food, chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
