Most moisture analysers use chemicals or high temperatures. Not
Aqualab. Instead, an infrared beam focused on a tiny mirror
determines the precise water activity of the sample. That water
activity reading is then translated into moisture content, based on
a product-specific calibration model.
What Products Work?
Most products with less than 40% moisture (by weight) will work
using the dew point method. Products with moistures above 40%
usually have such uniformly high water activity values that other
moisture analysers are a better fit. Below 40%, moisture
changes affect water activity readings more strongly, yielding high
precision and repeatability.
DUO's Dewpoint Moisture Content Method
- Odor-free
- Chemical-free
- No oven, no balance
- Precise - reduces error by up to 90%
- Verifiable with independent salt standards
- Repeatable
- Green - uses 95% less energy
- Portable - the meter weighs just 7 pounds
- Easy to use - precise measurements with minimal training
- Secure - offers administrative control over calibration and
sample data
- Complete moisture analysis: reads both moisture content and
water activity
Independently Verifiable Readings
You can validate moisture analyser performance with
independently verifiable salt standards. Time, date, user stamped
calibration and sample data can also be stored onboard in password
protected data files.
Half the Cost
The dewpoint method's precision puts it in the same class with
high-end moisture methods, but because its sample cups are
inexpensive and reusable, the Aqualkab DUO costs less to run than
other moisture analysers.

Easy to Use
The instrument is lightweight, portable, and straightforward. A
worker at the line can run samples with the same precision as a
technician in the lab, so you can use your moisture analyser at any
point on the production line or in the supply chain.
10x the Precision
Precision varies with the product you're testing, but for many
products the dewpoint moisture analyser has 10 x the precision of a
typical moisture meter.
