A Moisture Analyser, which is also referred to as a moisture balance is an instrument used for the determination of the moisture content of a sample.

A Moisture Analyser performs moisture analysis by using the ‘loss on drying’ (LOD) method. The sample is weighed using the Moisture Analyser’s balance unit before and after the removal of moisture. This is done by the continuous recording of the weight while the sample is heated and dried using a halogen lamp.

When the sample no longer loses weight, the difference between the two weights is measured, which is used to calculate the moisture content.
