The use of dual-energy drying (microwave coupled with infrared) in the SMART 6 provides the capability of analyzing moisture/solids in any sample type, wet or dry. Listed below are matrices in which dual-energy drying has shown to offer benefits over single energy source (i.e. microwave-only or infrared-only) systems. This list is meant to provide a glimpse of the SMART 6’s versatility and capabilities and is not exhaustive. Please contact the CEM Process Control Support Team if you do not see your specific matrix of interest listed. CEM’s skilled team of chemists can provide previously developed robust methods or CEM offers full method development services if one is not available. Simply send us your sample and we will take care of the rest.
