KERN: Tradition and Innovation

Kern moisture analyzers set a very high standard for moisture analysis. All three models provide fast and accurate answers for moisture content, percent solids and dry weight analysis of a wide range of products and materials. In research, manufacturing, and quality control applications it is essential to determine moisture content simply and reliably. A Kern moisture analyzer will do precisely that, providing moisture content data as a percentage of initial mass or of the residual dry mass. All models have a readout of 0.001 g or 0.01%.

KERN & Sohn GmbH was established in 1844 and is the oldest manufacturer of precision balances in Europe. Through consistent growth Kern now has customers all over the world and they have enjoyed close relationships with many customers for decades.

We offer our customers a wide and competitively priced range of balances, ranging from the basic to the advanced moisture balance to the heavy load industrial balances.

In the product range there is a large selection of analytical, precision, laboratory, pocket, industrial, hanging, crane and counting balances.

Mechanikus Gottlieb KERN founded his company in 1844 and manufactured the most accurate balances of its time. His business became the core of the internationally famous, southern German precision balance manufacturing industry.  Over 160 years of experience and our devotion to quality has enabled KERN to become specialists in the weighing field. The KERN brand stands for precision and reliability. KERN is DIN ISO 9001:2000 accredited and globally active.  Working with KERN is easy. The KERN commitment to satisfy customers never stops.

We have balances for percent solids, moisture determination, wastewater balance, sludge solids, water content and quality control. We also serve the general research community with HPLC, Ion Chromatography, UV/Vis Spectrophotometers, and Dissolution Testing Apparatus. A Kern Moisture Balance compares favorably with a Cem moisture analyzer, Meeco moisture analyzer or Karl Fischer.

• Stability Chamber Helps Evaluate Extended-Release Drugs

  Anything that helps patients follow their treatment regimen is good.  One common example is the idea of reducing the number of pills that a patient needs to take.  That is, rather than giving a small dose at 4 hour intervals, you give a larger dose at 8 hour intervals.  That doesn’t work, though, if the

• Measuring Amphibian Defensive Skin Secretions Without Sacrifice

  It’s much harder to measure anything when the measurement destroys your sample.  If your sample is a living organism, then it’s even more difficult: you have to maintain lots of organisms and then extrapolate the condition of one sacrificed animal to another sacrificed at a different time.  It’s even worse when your sample animal is

• How Do You Treat Heat-Related Symptoms When Everything is Hot?

  Just in case you were lacking reasons, here’s one more reason to admire people who serve in the military.  This 1994 report from the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine summarizes the experience of an army brigade during a three week simulated battle training exercise.  Specifically, the report examines heat stress suffered by the

• One of the Laboratory’s Timeless Tools: the Incubator

  Some laboratory instruments are almost timeless. Sure, technology advances, but the basic role of the instruments are so essential to laboratory operations that older versions are simply replaced with newer.  The analytical balance is one such instrument, and the laboratory incubator is another.  This 1952 paper outlines work done by researchers at the Department of

• Weigh, Weigh, Weigh, and Away We Go

  Here’s a cute little video illustrating the measurement of percent water in a hydrate. Actually the video isn’t that cute, but the music is. And I find it kind of irritating when someone uses “mass” as a verb, presumably in some attempt to clarify the difference between mass and weight, but really, can’t you just
