OHAUS Moisture Analyzers

Moisture affects nearly everything on earth. Whether from rain, leaks, humidity, or exposure, moisture can have a detrimental impact on samples. In addition to leading to mildew or mold, unwanted moisture can have critical impact on chemical and physical properties of a sample such as amalgamation, cohesion, and adhesion. For these reasons and more, it is essential to be able to accurately determine the moisture content of samples. This is done with a moisture analyzer, an instrument that is ubiquitous in laboratories.

MOISTURE MATTERS

Moisture analysis is a process performed in a wide variety of laboratory and industrial applications. While laboratories rely on these processes to inspect and study samples, many manufacturers use them to ensure product quality and meet standards. Batteries are a good example of a product where moisture content must be closely monitored. Many other product manufacturers and packagers also practice moisture analysis, including food, pharmaceuticals, and pulp and paper industries, to name just a few.

When used properly, an electronic moisture analyzer has many benefits. They are faster and can be more accurate than conventional methods. However, improper setup and usage can lead to inaccurate and untrustworthy results.

Moisture measurement must be done optimally. Improper moisture measurement can result in inaccurate and untrustworthy results, low repeatability, or a high variance in measurement results (low precision). Using low-quality instruments or not taking proper steps to prepare your workspace or samples can have negative consequences.

THE RIGHT INSTRUMENTS AND THE RIGHT METHODS

To ensure accurate moisture measurement, it’s important to select a high-quality moisture analyzer that can produce precise and repeatable results with low variance in measurements. Here are some tips for optimal moisture analysis:
