# What is the minimum measurement time? \[Moisture Analyzers\] \[MS/MX/MF/ML\]

It depends on the material and moisture content, but because MS/MX/MFML incorporates 400W halogen lamp as the heating source, the pan can be heated from ambient temperature to 200C in only 2 minutes. Also, since an SHS sensor designed for analytical balances is installed, the sensing of the weight of the sample before and after heating is precise and thus requires less sample volume than before. With an appropriate heating temperature and sample mass, measurement can generally be completed within a few to 20 minutes.  
Therefore, for the following reasons MS/MX/MF/ML’s heating time and thus also measurement time are shortened.

1. Heating to a set temperature is fast
2. Only a very little quantity of sample is needed for measurement.
