A&D's Moisture Analyzers
Fast and uniform heating with halogen lamp and innovative SRA technology
Straight halogen lamp and uniquely designed SRA (Secondary Radiation Assist) filter gives shorter
measurement time, thanks to fast and uniform heating
High repeatability
With SHS (Super Hybrid Sensor) featured as the weight sensor, ultra accurate moisture content
determination is possible based on high precision weighing of even a small sample
Low moisture content measurement
MS-70 measures the moisture content at 0.001% resolution suitable for low moisture content samples
as well as Karl Fischer method, yet requires no special knowledge or training and produces no harmful waste
Standard WinCT-Moisture (for MS&MX) for real-time graph displaying
WinCT-Moisture is an original software application designed to display a graph of moisture content
rate change while measuring with a connected PC
Sodium Tartrate Dihydrate comes as standard for accuracy checking
Sodium Tartrate Dihydrate is a chemical material that has stable moisture content of 15.66% ,
and thus is best to use for accuracy check to maintain the reference value of the analyzer
Calibration of the heater temperature (for MS&MX)
With the temperature calibrator (optional), calibration result can be output in the format that
conforms to GLP, GMP, ISO
Memory function
According to sample up to 20 suitable measurement conditions can be stored and recalled, which saves time
and prevents the user from making a mistake when setting (10 for MF &5 for ML)
For measurement result, up to 100 data can be stored and output at once (50 for MF &30 for ML)
Five measurement programs
Five choices of measurement programs, Standard, Automatic, Quick, Timer, and Manual Mode are provided
Standard Mode : Just measurement accuracy, HI, MID or LO needs to be set
Automatic Mode : Ends measurement when moisture content changes at a rate less than the set rate
Quick Mode : Begins heating samples at 200°C for 3 minutes, then is the same as Automatic Mode
Timer Mode : Continues measurement for a set duration of time (1˜60mins.: by 1min, 60˜480mins.: by 5mins.)
Manual Mode : STOP button should be pressed to end measurement (Max. heating time: 480mins.)
Selectable Heating Mode
Choose the heating mode from standard, quick, step and ramp heating modes for the most suitable measurement
(ML has Standard and Quick heating modes only)
Clear and easy-to-see, large VFD display
Measurement, setting value, change in moisture content, action status, data number and other important
information are clearly displayed
Easy handling of the unit
Ergonomically designed pan handle eliminates mishaps such as burns when moving a hot sample pan into or
out of the unit from either side. Wing handle for easy opening and closing of the heater cover
Low maintenance cost assured
The halogen lamp is user replaceable without unit downtime with protective chamber for easy cleaning
(Lamp life 5000 hours)

Displays moisture rate changes over time in a graph (RsFig)
Displays changes in moisture rate in real time
Measures moisture rate in a minimum time with excellent accuracy
Heats at the highest temperature without changing the physical properties of the
sample and provides measurements with good repeatability
Automatically determines the most suitable heating conditions
in a short time (RsTemp)
Automatically changes the heat applied by the set increments and interval time within
a range of 30°C-200°C. From the moisture rate change over that time can determine
the most suitable heating temperature in one time measurement (*Patent pending)
Shows sample data summary
Provides a data summary for the sample with the results of moisture rate change for
the representative material’s measurement
Calculates measurement data statistics
Saves the recorded data as a CSV file
Determines other changes to the sample material in addition to
moisture rate
Continuously measures changes to the mass in response to heating temperature and detects other material
changes besides the moisture rate

With our WinCT–Moisture software, data measured by the Moisture Analyzers
can be easily displayed on your computer.
Effective for determining measurement conditions such as heating temperature,
and useful in reducing the time needed for measurement and improving accuracy.

1. Example of measurement using RsTemp software to determine the heating temperature
Automatically changes the heating temperature (by your setting increments and interval time) within a range of 30°C - 200°C. From the rate of
change in moisture over time, in one time measurement it can determine the optimum heating temperature for the sample.
2. Example of measurement using RsFig graphic software
Can show moisture rate against time when the heating temperature is changed as well as showing the results of repeated measurements at a
certain temperature. From the graph, the highest possible heating range for the sample and the quickest measuring time can be determined.
Comparison between MS-70 and the KF (Karl Fischer) method
Example of PET plastic pellet measurement
Soybean flour Sodium tartrate dihydrate
Corn starch Sodium tartrate dihydrate
WinCT–Moisture consists of RsTemp software to determine the heating temperature and RsFig software for graphics.

KF method: a way of measuring moisture content through chemical determination.
With PET plastic and other materials, the MS-70 can measure a drop of moisture content of less than 1%.
Specialist knowledge is not necessary to operate the MS-70, and since measurement occurs quickly no
harmful waste is produced.
