Geared for high-performance with up to 0.01mg readability and capacities up to 220g. The Auto-Cal Internal Calibration system ensures accuracy of results in applications that require high precision.

Physical Influences and Calibration

Analytical balance readouts can be affected by changes in the sample and/or container as well as other physical influences.
    Use clean and dry containers for samples, and avoid beakers with large or wide openings. Pick the smallest container possible, and cover it if needed.
    Condition the sample/container to the prevailing temperature, to avoid issues with repeatability and weighing results. You may also find drifts in the readout value (even with a stable display when the balance isn’t loaded) otherwise.
    Evaporation may occur in uncovered samples/containers, or they may absorb water if handled with bare fingers. Readouts could increase or decrease continuously, or you may find drift (even with a stable display when the balance isn’t loaded).
High precision balance
    Electrostatically charged samples/containers (e.g. glass or plastic) or very low humidity may cause non-repeatable values or drifts in one direction. Shield the sample with metal foil or a metal container, increase the humidity and neutralize static electricity with an ionizing blower.
    Magnetic force fields can lead to stable but non-repeatable values, or changes in display based on the sample’s position. Avoid using magnetic stirring bars, shield samples with Mumetal foil or non-magnetic objects, use anti-magnetic weighing pans and demagnetize the pan before weighing.
