STABLO-AP

Static Electricity Removal by Ion Irradiation
With the high-frequency AC corona discharge method, Shimadzu’s STABLO-AP ionizer
provides a stable ion balance and excellent static removal performance on samples and
containers.
Precision weighing work becomes remarkably efficient.
Electrodes are safely housed inside the unit.

AC Method Produces Excellent Ion Balance
AC method: AC voltage is applied on the discharge needle and a well-balanced mixture of
positive/negative ions is emitted in rapid alternation from one electrode.
DC method: DC voltage is applied to a couple of electrodes. One is positive and the other
is negative. Each electrode emits ions of one polarity only. An effective static removal
angle is limited if the two electrodes are distanced. As electrodes deteriorate, initial ion
balance is lost.
