Analytical Balance

An analytical balance, also known as a laboratory balance, is a scientific scale used for precise weighing applications of small amounts of material in laboratories, educational settings, industries, or any environment requiring accurate and rapid weighing. Each model of analytical scale has defined weighing ranges, readabilities, accuracies, and repeatability.

Analytical balances are frequently used in laboratories because of their extremely accurate design that precisely measures the mass of an object; offering a readability up to 0.00001 grams (0.01 mg).

More about our analytical balances

Analytical balances can measure very small masses of samples with high precision and accuracy. They are typically used for laboratory applications that require weighing samples to four or more significant figures. 

They also have a readability of 0.1 mg (0.0001 g) or less, and are highly sensitive to changes in mass and environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, air currents, etc. They are often enclosed in a glass chamber to protect them from external influences. 

Analytical balances need to be calibrated regularly with standard weights to ensure their accuracy. Some features of analytical balances include automatic internal calibration, draft shield doors, touchscreens, data transfer options, etc.
