Equipment for Neutralizing Static Electricity
Quickly and Reliably
Static electricity in the lab can block the
entire sequence. When samples are weighed,
particularly non-conductive samples, such
as plastic, glass or porcelain, an electrostatic
field may build up between the sample and
the stationary parts of the balance. As a rule,
this effect is seen when the digits of a weight
readout seem to “race out of control.” This
makes reliable weighing, particularly in the
analytical field, very difficult. By ionization
of samples using the Sartorius StatFan or
Stat-Pen ionizing blower, static electricity is
neutralized within just a few seconds, making
it unnecessary to increase the humidity of
the air. Elimination of static electricity can be
performed instantly wherever needed.
Sartorius ionizing blowers can be used
anywhere undesirable electrostatic charges
are generated, for example, in production
areas and photography labs. The flow rate
of the ionizing stream can be continuously
adjusted. For StatPen, the flow rate is altered
by moving it closer or further away from a
sample.
