Understanding Analytical and Precision Balances
Analytical balances offer high precision with readability up to 0.0001g, making them suitable for tasks such as sample preparation and quantitative analysis. Precision balances provide readability from 0.001g to 0.1g, fulfilling requirements for general laboratory measurements and quality control. Our selection includes balances from established manufacturers like Kern and RADWAG, ensuring reliable performance.
Applications in Research and Industry
Analytical and precision balances are utilized across multiple fields. In materials science, they support component weighing and formulation studies. Chemical engineering applications include reactant preparation and solution calibration. In the life sciences, they are essential for accurate sample measurements. These balances are also integral to industrial quality control processes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between an analytical balance and a precision balance?
Analytical balances offer greater precision, typically with readability to 0.0001g, and are ideal for tasks requiring high accuracy such as quantitative analysis. Precision balances, with readability from 0.001g to 0.1g, are used for general laboratory tasks where ultra-fine resolution is not required.
How do I know which balance capacity is right for my application?
The right capacity depends on the maximum weight you expect to measure and the required precision. If you need help determining the best configuration, our team can assist with selecting a model that fits your workflow.
Are the balances calibrated before shipping?
Yes. Most of our balances come pre-calibrated and include automatic internal adjustment features. For added assurance, calibration certificates can be provided upon request.
Can these balances be connected to computers or lab systems?
Many of the models we offer include USB or RS-232 interfaces for connecting to computers, printers, or laboratory information management systems (LIMS), supporting efficient data transfer and tracking.
