The ROS 1 Moisture Analyzer determines moisture content from nine food samples in 40 minutes with reference-method precision.
It vaporizes moisture by conducting heat directly into the samples. As they dry, they're cycled across a highly accurate scale. Throughout the process, the ROS 1 records temperature, weight and time, then generates a precise drying curve for each sample.
By-the-book oven methods require hours of repetitive labor – sample in, sample out, weigh sample, repeat, repeat, repeat. You can’t step away for more than a few minutes at a time. It takes hours. The ROS 1 helps you meet regulations while automating the monotony, freeing scientists and techs to do more profitable work.
No spilled samples or fat fingered data.
ROS 1 and its companion app, Bridge, eliminate the time-consuming work and long experience needed to collect precise MC data. There’s no need to record or weigh anything. Interaction with samples is minimal. The machine does the work.
Insights that moisture balances and ovens can’t detect.
Where moisture balances burn samples under imprecise halogen bulbs, the ROS 1 gently heats the sample itself, not the chamber. That means the ROS 1 moisture analyzer for food offers the exact temperatures of a drying oven paired with automated, accurate weighing and remarkable speed.
Any sample, always accurate
92% of the top 100 food companies use METER devices. Throughout formulation, production and QA — from raw ingredients to final product and anything between.
Efficient, human-centric design
METER’s easy-to-use and beautiful products win design awards across the globe. Device training is simple, operation is intuitive, and the resulting productivity gains are invaluable.
In the lead for 40 years
Since our founding in 1983, we’ve stayed laser-focused on moisture management science – and built the industry’s largest body of expertise on the topic.
Quick ROI
Reliably accurate moisture measurements allow tighter process controls, saving you money on energy bills, reducing risk, preventing rework and maximizing yield.
Conform with AOAC, ASTM, ISO — Dry to a constant weight or enter a time and temperature for your test
No method development —Patented software and breakthrough algorithms make the ROS 1 completely sample agnostic
Automate busywork — ROS 1 tracks and graphs sample weight, temperature and test time
Rapid testing, high throughput — Measure up to nine samples at once in 40 minutes or less – about four minutes per sample
Simple operation — Included Bridge desktop app makes taking readings and exporting results quick and intuitive
Precise results — High-grade integrated scale, exact temperature control and patented vapor pressure correction software ensure quality readings
Highly repeatable — Consistent and exact control of each relevant parameter
Auto dry-detection — As evaporation slows, the ROS 1 weighs samples more and more frequently, then stops precisely when the sample is dry
