Finding the right moisture analyzer for your laboratory can be a challenge. With dozens of different brands and even more models to chose from, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the details. Thankfully, we’ve put together a quick comparison guide with some of the top moisture analyzers on the market to help you decide which is best for your lab.
Ohaus MB120
Coming in at the top of its class, the Ohaus MB120 is one of the most functional and feature-laden moisture analyzers on the market. With a maximum weighing capacity of 120 grams and a readability of 1 mg/0.01%, you’ll be able to test larger samples than the MB90 or retired MB45. A temperature guidance program ensures a stable, optimum drying temperature throughout your tests, while four drying profiles (standard, fast, ramp, and step) give you some variety on how you’d like to dry your samples. Halogen heating coils provide a reliable source that’s much safer than traditional metal heating coils. To wrap it all up, the MB120 comes with an all-metal body and a 4.3-inch TFT color touchscreen display that makes navigating through the interface a breeze.
CEM Smart System 5
A modest and timeless moisture analyzer, the CEM Smart System 5 still punches way above its price tag. Boasting a 50-gram weighing capacity, user-friendly software, and an Octawave cavity that optimizes drying, it’s not short on convenient features. The ProFat software uses microwave moisture measurements and data modeling analysis to rapidly your samples with superior accuracy and precision in as little as 2 minutes. For convenience, you can store up to 100 different testing methods and over 300 results. Best of all, the Smart System 5 can be integrated with the Smart Trac analyzer for upgraded testing capabilities.
Mettler Toledo HC103
A great buy for most lab and production product testing, the Mettler HC103 is built to take on some of the toughest jobs. It’s all-metal housing and robust internals make it a workhorse when it comes to daily tests, while the HC103’s compact size means it can operate on most standard tabletops or shelves. To help speed up the testing process, it comes with easy-access shortcuts and an ID management option that quickly documents and saves your results. Just like the MB120, it uses reliable halogen heating coils to quickly heat up your samples. You won’t be disappointed with the large 7-inch color touchscreen either, as it provides plenty of room to view your results and can even be used with gloves.
Sartorius MA35 Moisture Analyzers
One of the smaller moisture analyzers on the market, the Sartorius MA35 serves as a great entry-level analyzer. Its 35-gram maximum weighing capacity is more than enough for most standard lab test and the 90-millimeter pan size means you can use a variety of different filters. For testing, you can choose between the full auto time or a slope determination mode. There’s a concise display that shows all the important information at a single glance and features easy-to-read icons that guide you in steps from taring the sample pan to starting the measurement. To make the MA35 even more user-friendly, Sartorius has removed unnecessary programming options without compromising flexibility or measurement accuracy.
