Ionizer ION-100A
Increasing Weighing Accuracy by Reducing Static Electricity ION-100A ionizer optimizes the accuracy of results when weighing extremely finite samples by mitigating static charges that can lead to inaccuracies. ION-100A eliminates static electricity on plastic and glass weighing vessels which are particularly prone to attracting static charges. The ION-100A ionizer used with an OHAUS balance adds an extra level of assurance that outside factors will not impact the accuracy of weighing data. Standard Features Include: • Fan-Free Technology Neutralizes Static with No Sample Disruption — ION-100A’s electrodes continuously generate bipolar ions through DC corona (fan-free technology). The positive and negative ions are created by two electrodes that direct the ionized air onto the sample. Through this fan-free technology, the ION-100A neutralizes static charges without the production of air streams. • An Easily Replaceable Long-Running Motor — The ionizer’s durable electrodes, which have an estimated operating life of 15,000 hours, can be easily replaced as necessary. • A Compact and Versatile Design — The ionizer’s height and angle can be adjusted for optimal alignment with the balance, while its small footprint takes up minimal space on the lab bench.
