This analytical data is essential for quality control and even management. Discover SMART 6 for its accuracy and speed.
Background
The controlled production of cosmetic products is an important parameter in guaranteeing the quality and safety of finished products and their raw materials; with the wide variety of products and the rapid growth the cosmetics industry has experienced worldwide, it can be difficult to find consistent and suitable testing solutions.
Shampoos, lotions, soaps, detergents and other consumer and industrial products require extremely strict formulations. While analysis of water content (also known as moisture content or dry extract) can be very straightforward in the laboratory, the long time it takes to obtain results in the oven, or the inaccuracy of rapid alternatives, has a major impact on product quality. This analysis, if obtained accurately and quickly, can help to achieve the required formulation specifications, and increase yields and production margins.
This analytical technology for measuring water content in quality control and/or for monitoring cosmetics production has now become a benchmark.
SMART 6, water content analysis in less than 3 minutes
The SMART 6 is capable of measuring water content, moisture content or dry extract from dry to very moist samples with optimum speed. Typical analysis times are under 3 minutes. This analyzer is equipped with IPOWER® drying technology, enabling it to handle the widest possible range of samples: dry, pasty, semi-solid or liquid products, with a water or organic solvent base.
IPOWER® is a drying process using a dual-frequency energy source controlled by precise, intelligent measurement of sample temperature throughout the cycle. This energy is composed of microwaves and infrared for the most efficient drying possible. while avoiding either burning the sample, or only partially drying it.
A library of ready-to-use methods is available.
The SMART 6 is designed for use in the laboratory or alongside production, for lab assistants, technicians or production operators.
