The ROS 1 is a loss-on-drying moisture analyzer with the ability to run multiple samples.
A carousel enables high-sample throughput by analyzing as many as nine samples
simultaneously using primary reference methods. The ROS 1 controls the temperature of each
sample position individually using controlled contact drying and tracks the weight loss of each
sample over time. The instrument consists of an enclosure that houses the power supply, air
flow control, the sample chamber, and scale. The power switch and communications ports are
located on the rear of the ROS 1. There are LEDs on the front of the ROS 1 that correspond to
each of the nine sample positions on the carousel (
).
