High-Quality Lab/Precision Balances
Our Lab/Precision Balances
Precision laboratory balances (also called top-loading balances) are scales designed to offer highly accurate results within the sub-milligram range when measuring small samples. Precision balances provide an accurate, quick, and easy method for determining the weight of items such as particulate matter. Electronic precision balances offer a wide range of weighing capacities, with maximum capacities of up to 64 kg.
Precision balances produce steady readings in a greater range of environmental conditions than other balances, which require specific conditions to ensure accurate readings. Precision balances are less sensitive to temperature fluctuations and air currents, making them a preferred measuring method.
While most common in the chemistry industry, many industries rely on precision balances—including the research, quality control, pharmaceutical, chemical, food, education, and textile industries.
Common applications include:
- Lab Precision and Analytical Weighing
- Formulation
- Dynamic Weighing
- Density Measurement
- Differential Measurement
- Filter Weighing
- Interval Weighing
- Mass Comparison
- Hazardous Area Weighing
- Test Weight Verification
If you work in a laboratory, you know that cleanliness significantly impacts safety. Proper maintenance can minimize cross-contamination risk, enhance user safety, increase operating reliability, and reduce equipment failure rates.
There are 6 steps to maintaining a clean balance:
- Understand that cleansing is essential
- Determine which cleansing agents to use
- Schedule a time to clean the balance
- Perform balance cleansing procedures
- Clean weighing instruments
- Avoid soiling the balances
