Why Choose Our Analytical Lab Balances?

Our analytical lab balance models are both versatile and practical, making them ideal for use in industrial, laboratory, educational, and healthcare settings. With cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions, you'll benefit from quick stabilization time, a reverse backlit LCD display, overload protection, easy adaptability and connectivity, and password protection against possible changes. Each analytical balance listed on this page comes with a draft shield or weighing chamber to prevent very small samples from being affected by air currents. Additionally, they are designed to detect extremely fine increments, so even the slightest vibrations or breeze can impact the results.

Precision and accuracy are vital when it comes to analytical balances. To counteract vibrations, it is recommended to use them in a dedicated room with minimal disturbances. Additionally, frequent calibration is essential to ensure the best results. Most balances feature both automatic internal motorized calibration and calibration with external weights.

Analytical Balance FAQs

What are analytical balances?

An analytical balance, also known as a chemical balance, is a highly accurate laboratory balance designed for precise measurements. Analytical balances provide readability of up to 0.00001 grams (0.01 mg), and are commonly used in laboratories and other professional or academic settings. There are three major types of analytical lab balances: electronic analytical balances, single-disk analytical balances, and electro-optical analytical balances.

How do analytical balances work?

Analytical balances use an electromagnetic balance to measure the mass of an object with an electromagnet. These balances do not directly measure the mass but instead measure the force acting downward on the balancing pan.

How often should analytical balances be calibrated?

We recommend checking the accuracy of the balance at least once per year (more if the weight is dropped, chipped, etc.), or about six months after vendor calibration. Reference weight calibration should occur about every two years by an accredited vendor. For more information, read about calibrating an analytical balance.

How low can analytical balances weigh?

An analytical balance can have a capacity as low as 1 gram. Overall, the weighing capacity range of an analytical balance is between 100-500 g, with a readability of 0.1 mg-0.001 mg.

Why are analytical balances so expensive?

Compared to precision balances, analytical balances are more expensive due to their design for very precise weight measurement in ranges of several thousandths or hundredths of grams. These precise measurements are essential for chemical or pharmaceutical research, which justifies the higher cost of analytical lab balances.
