What Is a Rapid Moisture Analyzer?

A rapid moisture analyzer combines a heating unit with a precision balance; methods include infrared, halogen, and microwave heating, halogen being most common. VicoMeter rapid analyzers follow this principle.

The VicoMeter rapid moisture analyzer works on the halogen lamp principle:
Halogen (halogen tungsten) lamps improve on incandescent: injected halogen gas cycles tungsten back onto the filament, extending life and permitting higher temperatures—greater brightness, color temperature, and efficiency.

Advantages: no auxiliary agents needed—just add sample or set the program; rapid heat-up and radiation deliver results in minutes, far outperforming dry-then-weigh workflows

Disadvantages: aqueous samples cannot be fully dried, and oxidizing or volatilizing components cause errors. Still, for oven-and-balance users these instruments are a leap into automation—the 'rapid moisture analyzer'.
