Description
A&D MX-50 Moisture Analyzer: 51 g × 0.001 g, 0.01% Resolution
The A&D Weighing MX-50 measures moisture content by loss on drying. Its Super Hybrid Sensor (SHS) weighs samples up to 51 g in 0.001 g steps, so it gives accurate moisture results even with small samples, and its 400 W halogen lamp with A&D’s Secondary Radiation Assist (SRA) filter heats samples quickly and evenly.
Choose from five measurement programs and four heating profiles, view the drying progress on the large VFD display and through the window, and send GLP-compliant results to a PC or printer over RS-232C with the included WinCT-Moisture software.
Key Features

- Accuracy (std. dev.): 0.1% for samples over 1 g; 0.02% for samples over 5 g
- 400 W straight halogen lamp with SRA filter for fast, uniform heating
- 50 to 200 °C drying temperature in 1 °C steps
- 5 measurement programs: standard, automatic, quick, timer, and manual
- 4 heating modes: standard, quick, step, and ramp

Calibration Options from MNM Scales
Get your MX-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 the MX-50 weighing system 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
How accurate is the A&D MX-50?
It displays moisture to 0.01%, with a standard deviation of 0.1% for samples over 1 g and 0.02% for samples over 5 g.
What is included with the MX-50?
20 sample pans, 2 pan handles, tweezers, a spoon, a glass fiber sheet, a sodium tartrate test sample, WinCT-Moisture software, an RS-232C cable, covers, and the power cable. The temperature calibrator and a calibration mass are not included.
MX-50 vs. MS-70: which should I choose?
The MX-50 weighs to 0.001 g with 0.01% moisture resolution. The MS-70 weighs to 0.0001 g with 0.001% resolution and holds 71 g, for the most demanding samples.
Can MNM Scales calibrate the MX-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.
