COLO.SCIENCE — THERMOGRAVIMETRIC LOSS ON DRYING
Integrated weighing, controlled heating and automatic sample-chamber access
The FAMO500 professional moisture analyzer determines moisture by recording the mass of a sample before and during controlled heating. The integrated weighing and heating platform supports a clear four-stage workflow: weigh the sample, apply the selected temperature, monitor mass loss and calculate the moisture result.
Two capacity variants are available: FAMO500 with 110 g capacity and FAMO501 with 210 g capacity. Both provide 1 mg weighing readability, 0.01% moisture readability, external calibration and an Ø100 mm sample pan.

FAMO500 SERIES — PROFESSIONAL MOISTURE ANALYZER
FAMO500 professional moisture analyzer for routine laboratory LOD testing
A professional moisture analyzer is selected according to sample type, expected sample mass, required moisture resolution, drying temperature, reporting method and laboratory throughput. The FAMO500 series offers two capacity choices while maintaining the same 1 mg weighing readability and 0.01% moisture readability.
The 40°C to 230°C heating range supports method-based drying for a broad range of materials. Automatic lifting improves access to the heating chamber and sample pan, while the large touch screen provides direct visual control of the measurement process.
For documented laboratory workflows, the instrument can be configured with compatible communication software, an optional thermal printer and optional OIML F1 weights for external calibration and routine control. Final interface compatibility, accessory scope and documentation should be confirmed in the official quotation.
FAMO500 moisture analyzer, optional printer and F1 weights
FAMO500 combines weighing, controlled heating, automatic lifting and touch-screen process monitoring in one professional moisture analysis platform.
Optional thermal printer for compatible measurement records when laboratory procedures require direct paper documentation.
Optional OIML F1 weights support external calibration, routine balance checks and documented control procedures.

Moisture measurement workflow and data handling
1. Weigh
Place the prepared sample on the Ø100 mm pan and record the initial sample mass.
2. Heat
Apply the selected drying temperature according to the material and validated laboratory method.
3. Monitor
Track mass loss continuously through the touch-screen interface and process-control software.
4. Result
Calculate and document the moisture result after the selected stop criterion is reached.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES AND CALIBRATION SUPPORT
Optional F1 weights, printer and data workflow
The FAMO500 series uses external calibration. Suitable OIML F1 weights may therefore be selected for calibration and routine verification. Printer and software options should be matched to the required laboratory reporting and communication workflow.
OIML F1 calibration weights
Used for external calibration, independent routine checks, SOP control points and documented verification of the integrated weighing system.
Optional thermal printer
Supports direct printout of compatible moisture and weighing records when required by routine laboratory procedures.
Communication and software
- Serial communication interface.
- USB interface.
- Data collection support.
- Measurement-process control support.

COLO.SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT
Selection support for moisture analysis methods and instrument configuration
COLO.Science supports selection of the capacity, sample mass, drying temperature, stop criterion, calibration weights, printer, communication workflow and documentation package for professional moisture analysis.
How to select the appropriate FAMO500 model
Start with the total mass placed on the sample pan. FAMO500 provides 110 g capacity for routine small-sample work, while FAMO501 provides 210 g capacity for larger containers, higher sample masses or methods requiring additional tare reserve. Both variants provide the same 1 mg weighing readability and 0.01% moisture readability.
Then define the sample type, expected moisture level, drying temperature, required stop criterion, reporting format and calibration procedure. A representative sample layer and validated method are essential for repeatable moisture results.
Professional moisture analysis with touch-screen control and automatic lifting
FAMO500 is intended for laboratories that need a practical professional moisture analyzer with integrated weighing, controlled heating and continuous mass-loss monitoring. Its 7-inch capacitive touch screen supports direct visual control, while the automatic lifting mechanism provides convenient access to the heating chamber and sample pan.
Reliable results depend not only on instrument specifications but also on sample preparation, sample distribution, drying temperature, stop criteria and calibration practice. COLO.Science can assist with model selection, optional F1 weights, printer and communication configuration according to the intended laboratory workflow.
Configuration notice
FAMO500 and FAMO501 may be supplied with different configurations depending on selected capacity, calibration-weight value, printer, communication interface, software scope, sample-pan accessories, certificates and documentation requirements. The official quotation defines the final delivered configuration. Specifications may change without notice.
