Density Meter Needs Only 0.3ml of Sample
31 July 2008
A. Kruess’ density meter DS7000 now with even smaller sample quantity – 0.3ml
The density project team of A. Kruess Optronic GmbH has come forward with yet an amazing improvement: by using only 0.3ml of testing fluid, you will get accurate measuring results.
Additionally the density meter convinces with a measuring accuracy never seen before: in the measuring range of 0.00000 – 1.99999g/cm³, the measuring accuracy is 0.00005g/cm³. Whether you want to measure density, specific gravity or the concentration of liquid solutions: by this highly precise measuring instrument you receive results with five digits behind the comma. And even better: You receive your measuring result in only one second!
Behind these improvements stands a new-developed micromechanical measuring cell which needs only 80µl of sample volume and provides an integrated temperature measurement of the sample.
A built-in Peltier thermostat ensures a precisely regulated temperature with a repeatability of +/-0.02°C. Naturally the density meter possesses a calibration certificate in accordance with N.I.S.T. density standard. It’s particularly suitable for application fields in the GLP/GMP range. The user-friendly touch-screen operates in six languages.
The measured data can be exported e.g. in Excel format on a USB stick. Other interfaces are RS232 and Ethernet. LIMS and printer connections are integrated.
Customized measuring methods are programmable (990 methods), 9 of which are already preset in order to increase user-friendliness. The SQL data base thus stores and controls 999 results for you. An individual user management with separate passwords can be programmed.
The device can be used in a widespread range, e.g. for determination of mixing ratios, quality and quantity controls. Operational areas for the new density meter are to be found in the chemical industry, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry, breweries and beverage manufacturers, sugar and sweet material industry, pulp and paper industry, electronic industry, petrochemical industry and waste water management.
Highly precise density measurements can now be accomplished fast and simple at low sample costs – an ease of work and an improvement of results at the same time.
