The Orion AF8 sets international standards for rapid determination of moisture in a wide range of materials. Push button convenience with the highest accuracy and precision. Operating reagent, solvent and waste containers are plumbed directly to the titration vessel, creating a fully sealed chemical handling system. The Orion AF8's peristaltic pump provides a unique continuous titrant dispensing system thus eliminating the inconvenience of refilling burettes. The modular design keeps corrosive chemicals away from the instrument electronics providing maximum long-term reliability. A top-entry opening of the vessel can be opened to the width of a syringe needle for liquids or wider to accommodate solid samples up to 23 mm across. The complete titration procedure from the introduction of a sample to the presentation of results is carried out by a microprocessor-control led routine, which can be pre-programmed by the operator to optimize conditions best suited to the particular material being analyzed. Calibration confidence is assured because the standardization routine automatically rejects flawed results. Statistics can be performed on up to 25 sequential samples and may calculate the mean moisture level, standard deviation, the coefficient of variance and the number of samples analyzed. An extract time can be programmed to occur between to the vessel and carrying out the titration. The Orion AF8 is supplied complete with a built-in printer, large and small titration vessels, small vessel adapter, dual RS232 interface, large and small stir-bars, reagent and waste bottles, spare silicone pump tubing and an extra roll of printer paper.
