Description
The ROS 1 Moisture Analyser 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.
Features

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 4 minutes per sample
Simple operation
Included Bridge desktop app males 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

FAQ
What is the ROS 1?
The ROS 1 is a robotic system that automates the Loss-on-Drying (LOD) reference method. It delivers oven-standard accuracy with the speed and ease of a digital instrument, effectively digitising the "gold standard" of moisture analysis.
What is ROS 1's sample throughput?
It processes up to 9 samples simultaneously in 40 minutes or less. This high-speed automation allows labs to move away from manual weighing and significantly increases daily testing capacity.
Does ROS 1 require specific method development?
No. The ROS 1 is sample agnostic. Its advanced algorithms eliminate the need for time-consuming method development, allowing you to test diverse ingredients—from powders to solids—without complex recalibration.
What are the benefits of ROS 1's robotic integration
Automation removes human error. By internally weighing samples with 0.0001g precision during the drying cycle, the ROS 1 ensures unshakeable repeatability and provides a real-time dry-down curve for every sample.
Is ROS 1 compliant with global standards?
Yes. The ROS 1 results are consistent with AOAC, ASTM, and ISO standards. Because it mirrors the oven-dry method without the risk of scorching samples, the data is fully defensible for international trade and QA audits.
