Moisture Analyser
Moisture Analyser (Product Code: SLE/LI/22) is a benchtop weighing-and-drying instrument used to determine the moisture content of raw materials and finished samples in quality-control and teaching laboratories. Food, cosmetics and ceramics laboratories rely on it, as do agriculture and construction testing rooms, and it weighs samples of up to 160 g at 0.001 g resolution while a halogen-infrared lamp dries them. This moisture analyzer is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Moisture Analyser Used For?
The instrument works on the loss-on-drying principle: a weighed sample sits on the 110 mm pan, the halogen-infrared lamp heats it, and the built-in balance tracks the falling mass until drying is complete. The result can be read as percentage moisture, percentage dry residue or an ATRO value, so one run answers the question a food technologist, cosmetic formulator or ceramics technician actually needs answered.
Typical jobs include checking incoming raw materials, confirming that finished batches meet a drying target, and testing agricultural or construction samples. For repeatable figures, spread the sample thinly and evenly, keep it within the 2 g – 10 g band for which precision is quoted, and use the same temperature setting each time you compare batches. In teaching laboratories it is also a clear way to show students how gravimetric moisture determination works.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Whether the 160 g capacity suits your samples, or whether the higher-capacity model listed below fits better.
- The drying temperatures your methods call for, so we can confirm the lower limit of the range.
- Whether you will connect the RS232 port to a computer or printer.
- Your mains supply and the number of units required per laboratory.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Moisture Analyser measure?
The Moisture Analyser measures how much mass a sample loses when heated and reports it as moisture percentage, dry residue percentage or an ATRO value. Moisture and dry residue are both read to 0.01%, which suits routine quality checks on food, cosmetic, ceramic and construction samples.
What sample weight can the Moisture Analyser handle?
The Moisture Analyser weighs up to 160 g with a resolution of 0.001 g. Its stated moisture precision of 0.05% to 0.5% applies to sample weights between 2 g and 10 g, so most routine tests use a small, evenly spread portion within that band.
How does the Moisture Analyser heat the sample?
The Moisture Analyser heats samples with a halogen-infrared lamp controlled by a PT-100 temperature sensor. Drying temperatures are set in 1 °C steps up to 160 °C; because the listing gives two different lower limits, ask us to confirm the lowest setting if your method needs it.
Can the Moisture Analyser send results to a computer?
Yes, the Moisture Analyser has an RS232 interface for connecting to a computer or printer. Tell us what you plan to connect when you enquire, so we can confirm which cable or accessories you may need alongside the instrument.
Is a calibration certificate available with the Moisture Analyser?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Moisture Analyser should be discussed with us before you order. Mention in your enquiry whether you need a certificate and for which parameters, and we will tell you what can be provided with your supply.
Who supplies the Moisture Analyser?
The Moisture Analyser is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), based in Ambala, Haryana. The company serves laboratories, colleges, industries and dealers in India and international markets, and quotes directly for single units or larger orders.
