    Your Moisture Analyzer is used for determining the moisture in samples. Use the instrument exclusively for this purpose. Any other type of use and operation beyond the limits of technical specifications without written consent from OHAUS, is considered as not intended. Moisture determination applications must be optimized and validated by the user according to local regulations.
