KERN DAB 200-2IR Infrared Moisture Analyser, 200 g / 0.01 g (0.05 %)

Gentle drying for sensitive samples: KERN DAB 200-2IR moisture analyser

The KERN DAB 200-2IR (MPN DAB 200-2IR) is a specialised version of the popular KERN DAB moisture analyser. Whilst halogen lamps are designed for maximum speed, this model is fitted with a 400-watt infrared lamp. This technology offers significant advantages when analysing temperature-sensitive, strongly coloured or sugar-containing materials. Furthermore, the instrument offers an unusually large weighing range of 200 g, which significantly simplifies the analysis of bulky or heterogeneous samples.

Why infrared technology?

An infrared heater warms the sample more evenly and gently than an aggressive halogen heater.

• No burning: Dark samples (which absorb light heavily) tend to burn on the surface under halogen lighting before the moisture inside has evaporated. Infrared prevents this.
• No crust formation: With pasty or sugary samples, the gentle IR radiation prevents the formation of a crust that would block the escape of further moisture.
• Precise results: Gentle drying ensures that only the water evaporates and the sample does not undergo chemical decomposition. Readability is 0.01 g / 0.05% moisture.

Full control via the graphic display

The large, backlit graphic LCD guides you intuitively through the measurement process. You can see all the key values at a glance at any time:

1. Current moisture content in %
2. Current temperature
3. Drying time to date
4. Active drying programme
5. Live display of the drying curve

Routine measurements made easy

The KERN DAB 200-2IR takes a lot of the work off your hands in your day-to-day laboratory routine:

• Shut-off criteria: The instrument automatically detects when the weight remains constant (weight stabilisation) and terminates the measurement. Alternatively, you can switch it off either by a set time (e.g. 20 minutes) or manually.
• Programme memory: You can store up to 15 complete drying profiles (including temperature and stop criteria).
• Temperature profile: Adjustable from 40 °C to 199 °C in fine 1 °C increments.

Individual requirements & accessories

Is your sample particularly liquid or does it splash when heated? We recommend using round glass fibre filters. These distribute the liquid evenly across the entire surface and significantly speed up the drying process. Make sure you also have enough spare aluminium trays to cover your daily requirements.
