Description

Product Overview

The Ohaus MB27 Moisture Analyzer is engineered to deliver precise moisture content measurements quickly and reliably, meeting the demanding standards of modern laboratories. Featuring a high‑resolution backlit LCD, the instrument displays both weight and moisture percentage simultaneously, reducing the need for multiple devices and minimizing operator error. The heating chamber is designed for easy cleaning, allowing frequent sample turnover without compromising performance. Integrated RS‑232 bi‑directional communication enables seamless data transfer to computers, printers, or laboratory information management systems, facilitating comprehensive record‑keeping and analysis. Constructed from a robust die‑cast metal frame combined with ABS plastic panels, the MB27 withstands the rigors of daily use while maintaining a compact footprint of 20 × 15.1 × 14.1 inches and a weight of just 6.61 lb, making it suitable for benchtop deployment in a variety of scientific environments.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the MB27 excels in applications ranging from pharmaceutical quality control to food‑grade moisture testing, petrochemical analysis, and academic research. Its rapid heating cycle and accurate moisture detection allow technicians to evaluate raw materials, intermediate products, and finished goods with confidence. The intuitive interface requires minimal training, enabling both seasoned analysts and new laboratory staff to operate the device efficiently. The RS‑232 port supports integration with custom software solutions, allowing laboratories to automate data capture, generate compliance reports, and feed results directly into enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Whether used in a high‑throughput manufacturing lab, a university teaching facility, or a small‑scale research bench, the MB27 adapts to diverse workflows while maintaining consistent performance.
