OHAUS moisture analyzer MB92
The OHAUS Moisture Analyzer MB92 is a powerful moisture analyzer that has been specially developed for demanding laboratory and production applications. Its robust housing, combined with innovative carbon fibre heating and optimized load cell, ensures precise measurements even with frequent use. Compared to similar devices, it offers a high level of data security, as individual password protection functions effectively protect critical settings and methods. Anyone who needs reliable, repeatable and fast moisture determination will find a versatile instrument here that impresses with its clear user guidance and long-lasting accuracy compared to standard devices on the market.
Highest precision and durability
This modern analyzer combines robust materials with advanced technology. The PBT housing and die-cast aluminum base provide a solid foundation for safe operation, even during long-term use. The carbon fiber heat source enables precise control of the temperature range from 40 °C to 200 °C, allowing a wide variety of sample types to be dried quickly and reliably. Intuitive operation is via a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen, which displays a live drying curve and provides all relevant measurement data in real time. The multi-colored status light also makes it easier to monitor the progress of the measurement.
The device supports various switch-off criteria (manual, time-controlled or automatic based on individual weight differences). Thanks to these options, measurements can be flexibly adapted and provide accurate results in laboratories in the food industry, pharmaceutical or chemical sectors. With the integrated ID management, sample and batch IDs can also be managed directly, which considerably simplifies data organization.

FAQs
How often does the device need to be calibrated
?
The frequency depends on internal quality assurance standards. It is generally recommended to calibrate at least once a year, depending on the intensity of use.
Which sample types are suitable
The analyzer can process solid, semi-solid or powdery samples. An even distribution on the weighing pan ensures faster and more accurate results.
Can the temperature be easily adjusted?
Yes, with the mechanical temperature adjustment (e.g. at 100 °C or 160 °C) and the capacitive touchscreen, you can make changes quickly and document them for later analysis.
Can the device save different drying profiles?
Four different heating profiles (standard, ramp, step and fast) are available. Up to 20 methods can be stored to standardize frequently used processes.
Conclusion
Thanks to its combination of robust design, carbon fiber heating and innovative load cell technology, this moisture analyzer sets new standards for efficient and precise moisture analysis. The wide range of switch-off criteria and drying profiles offers maximum flexibility for different sample requirements, while the storage of methods and results ensures consistent documentation. Intuitive operation via the user-friendly touch display and password protection for greater data security also make it a trustworthy solution for laboratories and production facilities that want to rely on dependable results and lasting performance.
