The Magnetic Susceptibility Balance (MSB) determines the
magnetic properties of solids and liquids at a glance. Johnson
Matthey's state-of-the-art balance is based on the Evans design,
and can be used to measure a wide range of paramagnetic and
diamagnetic materials.
With applications in industrial chemistry, research and education,
Johnson Matthey's MSB technology offers a number of significant
advantages over traditional methods for measuring magnetic
susceptibility.
The standard sample size is 250 mg, but using an ultra thin
bore sample tube, an accurate measurement can be obtained with
a sample as small as 50 mg.
Positive or negative readings from the display will indicate
whether the material is paramagnetic or diamagnetic. A wide
range of diamagnetic and paramagnetic materials can be measured.

The Mark I, which is an excellent teaching tool, has been
used successfully in inorganic chemistry labs and other applications
for over 11 years.
The features and operation of the Mark I , along with some
experiments, are described in Microscale Inorganic Chemistry
A Comprehensive Experience, Szafran, Z.; Pike, R.; Singh, M.,
John Wiley & Sons: New York, 1991.
Using the Mark I for determining magnetic susceptibility is
simple: the length, weight, & balance readings are entered
into an easy-to-derive equation.

The Mark II is 100 times more
sensitive and can handle a wider range of paramagnetic
and diamagnetic materials than the Mark I. Because the
balance automatically calculates the volume and mass susceptibility,
it is ideal for use in quality control or any applications
where repetitive measurements are taken.
By utilizing the RS232 interface and software included
with the balance, all measurements can be stored in your
computer. Statistical analysis can then be performed on
the sorted data. |

Over 1000 MSB's are currently in operation
in industrial and academic laboratories throughout the world.
Its design was a result of collaboration between Johnson Matthey,
Herts, England and Professor D.F. Evans of Imperial College,
London, England.
