The next Moisture Sorption Analysis Seminar, the 10th MSAS, will take place 27th+28th March 2019 in Um, Germany.
Moisture Sorption Analysis Seminar (MSAS)
Moisture sorption analysis as a method of material analysis in industry and research.
MSAS content
- introduction to basic principles and mechanisms of moisture sorption analysis
- setup and operation of moisture sorption analyzers
- procedures for calibration and validation of sorption instruments
- successful preparation and execution of experiments
- interpretation, processing and evaluation of results
- additional methods for and their implementation as part of analytical strategies
- discussion of applications in research and industry (pharma, food, textiles, building materials, electronics, etc.)
- opportunity to talk to sorption experts and users
The MSAS is a two days event. The afternoon of the second day is reserved for an instrument workshop for SPS and Vsorp users.
The seminar is held in English.
Why to attend to the MSAS
The behaviour of materials under different humidity conditions is a crucial factor in many areas of research and industry (food, pharmaceuticals, textiles, polymers, agrochemicals, building chemistry, etc.).
Stability, shelf-life, hydration/dehydration and drying behaviour – to mention just a few – are important issues in this context, and knowledge about moisture-induced changes is considered to be indispensable for development and production.
The analysis of such processes can be very challenging and requires a proper experimental approach and special equipment.
As a manufacturer of dynamic vapor sorption instruments and humidity generators, we noticed that there is a huge need for information about how to plan, perform and evaluate sorption experiments.
So we teamed up with the Institute of Pharmacy of the University of Innsbruck to hold regular seminars on the theoretical and practical aspects of moisture sorption analysis.
Speakers
Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ulrich Griesser – Institute of Pharmacy of the University of Innsbruck

Cultural Event
After the conference dinner, we will follow a medieval watchman (or woman) on a tour through the historical quarters with plenty of anecdotes and stories from the medieval Ulm. The tour will take about 90 minutes and will end with a drink in one of the tavernas in the historic old town.
