KERN DIS Moisture Analyzer
KERN DIS Moisture Analyzer
The KERN DIS model series is designed as a single-range laboratory balance with an integrated halogen drying module. Weighing is based on the principle of electromagnetic force compensation, ensuring high reproducibility and result stability.
The DIS 50-4 model is intended for very fine analyses with a readability of 0.0001 g, while the DIS 100-3 combines a readability of 0.001 g with a higher maximum capacity of 120 g.
The halogen quartz heater enables precise temperature control in the range of 30 °C to 175 °C with 1 °C increments. Available drying modes include standard, fast, gentle, and step drying, with time-controlled, automatic, or manual switch-off criteria.
DIS models allow determination of moisture (%), dry matter (%), ATRO (%), and absolute weight loss in grams.
The internal memory allows storage of up to 1,000 measurement results and up to 1,000 sample descriptions. Up to 40 drying programs are supported.
The devices are equipped with RS-232 and USB device interfaces for data transfer.
Calibration option
If required, we offer accredited calibration in our own accredited calibration laboratory, including issuance of a calibration certificate.

Power supply and operation
The devices are powered by 230 V AC / 50 Hz. The halogen heating system ensures rapid temperature ramp-up and uniform drying performance.
Designed for operation in laboratory environments with controlled temperature and humidity.
Display and operation
The backlit graphical LCD display allows real-time visualization of drying curves. Operation is performed in three steps (tare – add sample – start).
The last measured value remains displayed until the next analysis is started.
The device supports multi-tare, password protection, and data storage.
