Flagship performance for routine and advanced moisture analysis

The OHAUS MB120 moisture analyzer combines a 120 g capacity, 1 mg weight readability and 0.01% moisture readability with a precision halogen heating system. Its wide 40–230 °C temperature range supports both routine samples and demanding methods in laboratory, quality-control and production environments.

The 4.3-inch full-colour touchscreen provides a clear, guided workflow in multiple operating languages. Four drying profiles, flexible shut-off criteria and live process information help users obtain repeatable results while reducing setup time.

Develop methods faster with SmartGuide™

SmartGuide™ helps determine a suitable heating method for many sample types with minimal initial input. The temperature guide supports selection of the optimum drying temperature, reducing trial-and-error during method development and allowing laboratories to move from sample preparation to usable results more efficiently.

More productivity, less repeated setup

  • Four drying profiles: standard, fast, ramp and step for different sample behaviours.
  • Seven shut-off criteria: manual, timed, automatic and user-defined options based on weight or moisture loss over time.
  • 100-method library: standardise recurring analyses across operators and workstations.
  • Storage for 1,000 results: retain, access, export and share extensive measurement histories.
  • GLP/GMP-ready RS232 output: supports structured laboratory documentation.
  • Robust construction: metal base, stainless-steel pan support and pan handler, ABS housing and in-use cover.
  • 14 operating languages: supports shared equipment in international teams.

Built-in Neutron CSL

Move moisture results directly into your digital workflow

The integrated Neutron CSL connects the MB120 to modern laboratory, quality, production and business systems. Completed results can be captured automatically, structured and routed to the required local server, application or cloud platform instead of being copied manually from the display.

  • Automatic result capture reduces transcription errors and shortens documentation time.
  • LIMS, QMS, ERP, MES, WMS, database and custom-software integration connects moisture analysis with wider processes.
  • Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth Low Energy support flexible installation in laboratory and production environments.
  • MQTT/MQTTS, HTTP/HTTPS, WebSocket and TCP/IP provide practical integration paths for local, server and cloud architectures.
  • Context-rich records can combine results with sample, batch, product, order or operator identifiers.
  • Local or cloud deployment gives IT teams control over architecture, cybersecurity and data governance.
