DescriptionThe C840H Integrated Evaporation Residue Testing System is a desktop laboratory instrument for gravimetric determination of evaporation residue, loss on drying, and overall migration/total migration/non-volatile matter in food-contact materials, pharmaceutical packaging, chemical reagents and purified water. The system combines automatic sample handling, controlled evaporation/drying, cooling and high-precision weighing in a compact mainframe for traceable, compliant testing.
Key features- Traceable data: Fully automatic gripper handling up to 25 test cups; dual-chamber design separates evaporation and weighing to reduce temperature and humidity effects; high-precision electronic balance with repeatability down to 0.05 mg; balance visible through viewing panel and calibratable with standard weights; quick-disassembly design for maintenance and calibration.
- Safe & compliant operation: Fully closed zero-leakage water bath with automatic fill/drain and liquid-level detection; rapid liquid cooling to enable room-temperature weighing; nitrogen purge cycles and independent electrical control for safe management of flammable/explosive/toxic emissions; integrated reagent collection to limit environmental release.
- Intelligent control & data management: 12.1 medical-grade touchscreen for standalone operation; automated sequences for water-bath movement, lid closing, evaporation, drying, cooling and weighing; multiple sensors with audible/visual alarms; network port for remote control and upgrades; professional software supporting GMP traceability and optional 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signatures and multi-level user management.
- Testing principles: Supports Total Migration (soak sample in simulant, evaporate and dry to measure total non-volatile migration) and Non-volatile Matter (compare evaporated/dried sample to blank to obtain residue mass).
Standards compliance- Complies with standards for pharmaceutical and food-contact testing and reagent residue determination, including ISO 1135-4:2015, ISO 1135-5:2015, ISO 3826-1:2019, ISO 3826-4:2015, ISO 8536-4:2019, Pharmacopoeia references, YBB00342002-2015, YBB00132002-2015, EN1186-3, GB 31604.8-2016, GB/T 5009.60, ISO 759-1981, ISO 6353-1:1982 GM14, GB/T 9740 and other related international/regulatory standards.
Applications- Basic application: Purified water — determination of non-volatile matter in purified water for pharmaceutical use.
- Extensive applications: Pharmaceutical packaging materials — non-volatile residue testing of composite films, bags, bottles, rubber stoppers and caps; Food-contact materials — total migration testing for polyethylene, polystyrene, PVC, polypropylene, melamine, foam polystyrene and plant-fiber products; Chemical reagents — determination of reagent residue after evaporation.
