Bartington Instruments MS2 Magnetic Susceptibility Meter

As a field instrument the MS has been very popular. The meter unit is linked via coaxial cable to a variety of field sensors, with two coincident open frame coils giving a maximum penetration of 0.1m & a much smaller one for use within drilled holes.

The real advantage of this instrument is, however, the availability of bench-top sensors, dual frequency bridge & integrated sample oven. These allow precise measurements of susceptibilty to be made as well as frequency dependence assessed; the latter is an indicator of magnetic grain size which can have diagnostic properties.
