Description
A&D ML-50 Moisture Analyzer: 51 g × 0.005 g
The A&D Weighing ML-50 is the entry model in A&D’s M series of halogen moisture analyzers. It weighs samples up to 51 g in 0.005 g steps with A&D’s Super Hybrid Sensor (SHS) and reports moisture to 0.1% or 1%.
A halogen lamp with A&D’s Secondary Radiation Assist (SRA) filter heats the sample quickly and evenly from 50 to 200 °C. A window around the heating chamber lets you watch the sample, and a quick reference card helps new operators get started.
Key Features
- 51 g × 0.005 g; moisture readability 0.1% or 1%
- Repeatability: 0.1% (samples over 1 g) / 0.02% (over 5 g)
- Halogen heater with SRA filter, 50 to 200 °C in 1 °C steps
- 4 heating profiles: standard, quick, step, and ramp
- 5 measurement programs: standard, automatic, timer, manual, and quick
- Measurement modes: moisture (wet or dry basis), dry content, ratio, and weight
- Easy-to-read VFD display, 30-result memory, 5 stored programs
- RS-232C with GLP/GMP/ISO output; self-check function
- 5-year A&D limited warranty

Calibration Options from MNM Scales
Get your ML-50 calibrated and ready to use on day one. Add either option to your order, and our TDA-registered technicians calibrate it in-house before it ships:
- In-house calibration with certificate, using NIST-tested weights: $95. We calibrate and verify your ML-50 with NIST-tested weights and include a calibration certificate, so it arrives set up and accurate. Add $95 calibration to cart
- NIST calibration with a NIST-traceable certificate: $395. Full calibration documented on a NIST-traceable certificate, for QC labs and audits that need a paper trail. Add $395 NIST calibration to cart
We also recalibrate scales and balances you already own, by mail-in or in our shop, with on-site service across Houston and the surrounding area. Request calibration or call (832) 290-3120.

Frequently Asked Questions
ML-50 vs. MF-50?
Both hold 51 g. The MF-50 reads weight to 0.002 g and moisture to 0.05%, with more programs; the ML-50 reads to 0.005 g and 0.1%.
How do I check the ML-50’s accuracy?
Use the included sodium tartrate dihydrate test sample, which has a stable, known moisture content.
Can MNM Scales calibrate the ML-50 before it ships?
Yes. Choose in-house calibration with a certificate, using NIST-tested weights, for $95, or NIST calibration with a NIST-traceable certificate for $395.
