Measure moisture content reliably and accurately based on your specific requirements.
Hi, my name is Rafi and I'm here to introduce you to the concept of Good Moisture Analysis Practice Recommendation, or in short, GMAP. Moisture content plays a crucial role in product quality in every industry it's used, from pharma and food to plastics. Measuring moisture content reliably and accurately will help you to guarantee consistent, excellent product quality and avoid rework and waste. That's why we'd like to introduce you to GMAP, a scientific risk-based approach that helps you get accurate results at all times, ensuring the consistent quality of your product and increasing your financial gains. Okay, that sounds interesting, but how can GMAP help me? That's a very good question. Let me explain you. GMAP evaluates your requirements regarding moisture content, its tolerances and your process risk. And then makes a recommendation for the best fitting moisture analyzer. So that means GMAP will help me to choose the right moisture analyzer? Yes, absolutely. But that's not all of it. Let me briefly explain. Besides the moisture analyzer itself, the sample characteristics are also taken into account to define the right amount of sample and the correct sample handling. For example, using a glass fiber filter when you measure liquid samples. In addition, based on your process risks, GMAP recommends the right installation package, calibration services, user training and frequency of routine testing to control the overall performance of your moisture analyzer. Please note that calibration and routine testing frequencies are based on risk. That means if your risk is high, more activities are recommended. If your risk is low, then you can save effort by doing them less frequently. Your free GMAP recommendation document is unique to you and your process, and it will summarize all of these steps. By following the GMAP recommendations, you'll also get an early indication of any drift in the performance of your moisture analyzer, so that you can avoid out-of-specification results. Nice. So in this way, I can be sure to get accurate and reliable results over time? Yes, absolutely. So, how can I get a GMAP recommendation? Well, that's quite simple. Just reach out to your local Mettler Toledo representative or go online and visit our website. Good Moisture Analysis Practice. Your assurance of reliable moisture results.

Key Factors for Choosing the Right Moisture Analysis Equipment
What are the key questions which need to be answered to find the right moisture analyzer? The main goal of GMAP is to look at moisture analysis from a holistic point of view, over the complete moisture analysis lifecycle.
The GMAP Recommendation considers the following aspects:
- Lowest moisture or dry content to be measured
- Process tolerances and process risks
- Sample characteristics and user-specified start weight
- Environmental and external influences expressed as safety factors
- Data handling and user needs
- Regulatory demands
Your local METTLER TOLEDO representative can help you answer questions about the topics above.
All Summarized in One Complete and Easy to Use Document
