Which type of balance do I need?
When selecting a lab balance, consider factors such as the required capacity, readability, accuracy, and specific application requirements. Whether you need ultra-precision measurements for analytical research or a robust and portable solution for fieldwork, there's a lab balance type perfectly suited to your needs.
Analytical Balances
Precision Weighing: Analytical balances are designed for high-precision weighing, typically with readability down to 0.1 milligram (0.0001 gram).
Internal Calibration: Many analytical balances feature internal calibration mechanisms to ensure accuracy and reliability of measurements.
Enclosed Draft Shield: To protect against air currents and external influences, analytical balances often come with an enclosed draft shield.
Precision Balances
High Capacity: Precision balances offer a higher capacity compared to analytical balances, typically ranging from several grams to several kilograms.
Readability: While not as precise as analytical balances, precision balances still provide excellent readability, usually down to 0.1 gram.
Versatility: Precision balances are suitable for a wide range of laboratory applications, including formulation, sample preparation, and quality control.
Top Loading Balances
Ease of Use: Top loading balances feature a simple and intuitive design, making them easy to use for routine weighing tasks.
Medium to High Capacity: These balances offer medium to high capacity, with readability typically ranging from 0.1 gram to 1 gram.
Wide Range of Applications: Top loading balances are versatile and suitable for various laboratory applications, including education, research, and general weighing tasks.
Moisture Analysers
Moisture Determination: Moisture analysers are specialised instruments designed to measure the moisture content of samples accurately.
Halogen Heating: Many moisture analysers use halogen heating technology to quickly and uniformly heat samples, facilitating rapid moisture determination.
Data Analysis: These analysers often come equipped with advanced features for data analysis, including drying curves, statistical calculations, and customisable reporting.
Microbalances
Ultra-Precision Weighing: Microbalances are designed for ultra-precise weighing applications, with readability down to microgram levels.
Environmental Controls: These balances often feature advanced environmental controls, such as vibration damping and temperature stabilisation, to minimise external influences on measurements.
Specialised Applications: Microbalances are commonly used in pharmaceutical research, environmental analysis, and nanotechnology applications where extreme precision is required.
Portable Balances
Portability: Portable balances are compact and lightweight, making them ideal for fieldwork, sampling, and on-the-go weighing applications.
Battery Operation: Many portable balances are battery-operated for added convenience and versatility in remote locations.
Durable Construction: These balances are built to withstand rugged environments and harsh conditions encountered in fieldwork.
