Faster methods lack precision and produce questionable results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe developed the ROS 1 to address this gap. It\u2019s fast, precise, intuitive, and handles every detail automatically. It combines the best of all methods without their shortcomings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Water content affects storage stability, appearance, texture, and taste, as well as other physicochemical characteristics of food, and is legally stipulated as well.<\/p>\n<p>The ROS 1 Moisture Analyzer determines moisture content from as many as nine samples in 40 minutes with reference-method precision. With an element positioned millimetres from the sample, it precisely heats each sample while cycling them across a highly accurate scale. Throughout the process, it records temperature, weight, and time, then generates an exact drying curve for each sample.<\/p>\n<p>Karl Fischer titration is complex and time-consuming. It uses hazardous chemicals and requires a skilled operator. Oven loss-on-drying requires significant hands-on time and often requires hours to complete.<\/p>\n<p>Like these reference methods, the ROS 1 is sample agnostic, using intelligent algorithms<br \/>\nto recognize the perfect parameters for any substance without having to research test setup. Leveraging automation, it has the potential to save businesses and scientists hundreds of hours each month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ROS 1 brings a new level of efficiency and accuracy to food and pharma production, and delivers unprecedented precision and simplicity to workflows,\u201d added Ohki. \u201cInteraction with samples is minimal; the machine does the work, virtually eliminating the risk of human error or fudged data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ROS 1 uncovers a depth of real-time, actionable insights that moisture balances and ovens cannot detect, without the time and effort usually required. It dries to a standard, so measurements have real context and meaning.<\/p>\n<p>Titration takes a great deal of expertise and is usually only performed by experienced food scientists and other highly skilled employees. It also requires use and disposal of potentially dangerous chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy-the-book oven methods require hours of repetitive labour and require constant attention from operators. I\u2019ve met manufacturers that had to run an additional lab shift just to manage oven samples. Conversely, the ROS 1 helps you meet industry regulations while automating rote tasks, freeing scientists to focus their attention on more important, profitable work,\u201d added Ohki.<\/p>\n<p>Ovens are also problematic, often requiring several hours to dry samples, and additional time spent waiting for samples to cool in desiccators. Other methods that tout speed lack the precision outputs that food and pharma manufacturers require.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people who make moisture content measurements neither understand nor care how difficult it is to get precise, reliable results from existing methods,\u201d says Ohki, \u201cBut inaccurate measurements have a big impact on the bottom line. For people who understand moisture, this innovation will immediately resonate. Others will get interested when they see what they can now do. \u201cWith the ROS 1, METER Group has brought to market the first and only moisture content analyzer device to offer precision of reference methods, the simplicity of an oven, andspeed comparable to a moisture balance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>For more information, visit:\u00a0<\/i><i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.metergroup.com\/en\/meter-food\/products\/ros-1-moisture-analyzer\">www.metergroup.com\/en\/meter-food\/products\/ros-1-moisture-analyzer<\/a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-image-container  av-styling-    avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_buttonrow  avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><div class='avia-image-overlay-wrap'><img class='avia_image' src='https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/03\/Meter-Ross-1.png' alt='' title='Meter Ross 1' height=\"1094\" width=\"2110\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-buttonrow-wrap avia-buttonrow-left   avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_social_share '>\n<a href='The METER Group has introduced the ROS 1 Moisture Analyzer, a revolutionary, modern, easy-to-use, automated reference method for moisture content analysis.' class='avia-button  avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-color-theme-color avia-size-small ' target=\"_blank\" style='margin-bottom:5px;
