Glass Fiber IR Sample Pads Sartorius Corp 90mm Circle Pack of 200

Description

Product Overview

The Sartorius 90mm glass fiber infrared (IR) sample pads are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern analytical laboratories. Constructed from high‑purity glass fiber paper, each pad offers a uniform, non‑reactive surface that reliably absorbs liquids and semi‑solid specimens without introducing contaminants. The 90mm circular format aligns perfectly with standard infrared moisture balances, ensuring a snug fit that eliminates sample movement during analysis. With a pack of 200 pads, laboratories gain a cost‑effective inventory that supports high‑throughput testing while maintaining consistent performance across thousands of measurements.

Key specifications include a lightweight design at approximately 5.64 ounces per pack, compact dimensions of 4 × 4 × 4 inches for easy storage, and a model number 69MA0325 for precise identification. The pads are compatible with both microwave‑based and infrared moisture determination instruments, providing flexibility for users who employ multiple analytical techniques. Their robust glass‑fiber composition resists tearing and degradation, even when exposed to aggressive solvents or high‑temperature environments, extending the usable life of each pad and reducing the need for frequent replacement.

Usage

These IR sample pads excel in a variety of laboratory applications where accurate moisture content measurement is critical. Typical use cases include pharmaceutical formulation testing, food and beverage quality control, polymer moisture analysis, and environmental sample assessment. The pads are placed directly into the sample chamber of an infrared moisture balance, where they absorb the test material and provide a stable platform for infrared scanning. Their design also accommodates microwave drying units, allowing users to pre‑dry samples before infrared analysis for enhanced precision.

When handling semi‑solid or viscous samples, the porous glass‑fiber matrix wicks the material evenly, ensuring that moisture is uniformly distributed across the pad surface. This uniformity minimizes measurement variance and improves repeatability, which is essential for regulatory compliance and quality assurance programs. The pads are disposable, eliminating cross‑contamination risks and simplifying cleanup procedures after each test.

FAQ

What types of samples can I use with these IR sample pads?

The pads are suitable for liquids, semi‑solid, and viscous samples. Their porous glass‑fiber structure absorbs moisture uniformly, making them ideal for pharmaceutical, food, polymer, and environmental testing.

Are the pads compatible with both infrared and microwave moisture balances?

Yes. The 90mm circular design fits standard infrared moisture balances, and the pads can also be used in microwave drying units when pre‑drying samples before infrared analysis.

How should I store the pads to maintain their performance?

Store the pads in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Keep the original packaging sealed until use to protect the glass‑fiber material from humidity and contaminants.

What is the recommended disposal method for used pads?

Used pads should be disposed of according to your laboratory’s hazardous waste protocols. Because they are made from glass fiber, they are not recyclable in standard paper streams.

Can I purchase a smaller quantity if I only need a few pads?

Sartorius typically offers the 200‑pad pack as the standard unit. For smaller quantities, contact Sartorius sales representatives to discuss possible bulk‑break options or alternative product lines.
