Ohaus MB120 Moisture Analyzer, 120g x 0.001g

Ohaus MB120 Moisture Analyzer: Advanced Moisture Content Determination

The Ohaus MB120 Moisture Analyzer is engineered to deliver fast, precise, and efficient moisture content analysis for a wide array of materials, including soils, aggregates, foods, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. It operates on the loss-on-drying (LOD) principle, where a sample is weighed, heated by a halogen lamp to evaporate its moisture, and then weighed again. The analyzer calculates and displays the results with exceptional accuracy, making it an indispensable tool for quality control and research laboratories.

This advanced model provides unparalleled customization and control to ensure optimal test results for every sample type. Its robust, chemically resistant construction is built to withstand the rigors of both daily laboratory and field use.

Sophisticated and Intuitive Operation

At the heart of the MB120 is a vibrant 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen display. The icon-driven interface provides an intuitive user experience, simplifying everything from test setup to data analysis. The display is multilingual, offering 14 language options to accommodate diverse teams. During a test, real-time data is clearly presented, including a drying curve, elapsed time, current temperature, and live moisture percentage, allowing users to monitor progress at a glance.

Advanced Drying Capabilities

The MB120 offers a wide temperature range of 40°C to 230°C and features four distinct drying profiles to optimize the heating process for different samples:

• Standard: A single-step process for most common samples.
• Fast: Quickly ramps up to temperature to remove moisture rapidly, ideal for samples with high moisture content.
• Ramp: Slowly increases the temperature over time to prevent burning or splattering of heat-sensitive materials.
• Step: Allows for a multi-stage drying process at different temperatures and times, perfect for complex samples.

Seven shut-off criteria, including manual, timed, and automatic modes based on weight loss over time, provide the flexibility to define the perfect endpoint for every test, ensuring reproducible results without operator guesswork.

Powerful Data Management and Connectivity

Designed for the modern lab, the MB120 excels in data handling and security. Its internal memory can store up to 100 complete test methods and up to 1,000 test results, which can be used for statistical analysis. With two USB ports and an RS232 port, connecting to a PC, printer, or USB drive is seamless. You can easily export results or complete system backups to a USB stick, ensuring your data is always secure and portable. Three levels of user management protect settings and data from unauthorized changes, guaranteeing data integrity.
