Analytical Balance

Description: An analytical balance (often called a "lab balance") is a class of balance designed to measure small mass in the sub-milligram range. The measuring pan of an analytical balance (0.1 mg or better) is inside a transparent enclosure with doors so that dust does not collect and so any air currents in the room do not affect the balance's operation. This enclosure is often called a draft shield. The use of a mechanically vented balance safety enclosure, which has uniquely designed acrylic airfoils, allows a smooth turbulence-free airflow that prevents balance fluctuation and the measure of mass down to 1 μg without fluctuations or loss of product.

What is the use of analytical balance?

An analytical balance is a class of balance designed to measure small mass in the sub-milligram range. The measuring pan of an analytical balance (0.1 mg or better) is inside a transparent enclosure with doors so that dust does not collect and so any air currents in the room do not affect the balance's operation.

Our range in laboratory analytical balances includes a variety of features to suit your application needs. Models are available with internal or external calibration, built in RS-232 to allow connectivity to computers or printers and stability filters to compensate from vibrations, drafts or temperature changes. To ensure high accuracy weighing our analytical balances are available with a see-through enclosure to prevent dust, air or any other external factors to affect the reading of the balances.

Preparing the balance for use:

Before weighing anything on the analytical balance you must make sure that it is leveled and zeroed.
To check the leveling on the balance, look at the leveling bubble on the floor of the weighing chamber. If it is not centered, center it by turning the leveling screws on the bottom toward the back of the balance.
Once the balance is leveled, close all the chamber doors and press the control bar on the front of the balance. After a few seconds, a row of zeros will appear. This indicates that the balance is zeroed and ready for use.
