Silver Ink is capable of forming electronic circuits. Requires no heating. Hardens under ultraviolet (UV) light for approximately 0.3 sec. Film thickness of five micrometers produces wiring with electrical resistivity of 10-3cm. Permits wiring on glass base material and substrates, flexible base material and polyester film (PET film).

Kern MLB 50-3N moisture analyzer supports GLP/ISO record-keeping data consisting of time, date and sample identification number. Moisture content is determined as a percent of weight loss from the starting weight and displayed from 0% to 100%. Readout down to 0.001g or 0.01% moisture. Dry mass is displayed from 100% to 0% as residual weight from the starting weight. Uses a 400W halogen heater. Temperature range is 50°C to 160°C, maximum weighing capability of 50g, reproducibility 0.003g and linearity ±0.003g. Four heating profiles – standard, soft, fast and step – based on properties of material being tested.
