High-quality laboratory scales for the exact weight determination of your material is essential to laboratory work. Click through our wide-range of laboratory scales from established manufacturers which include precision scales, industrial and hanging scales, analytical balances and weighing accessories.
Further information about analytical balances can be found here.
The analytical balance represents the most sensitive form of a precision balance. As a rule, it has a resolution of 0.1 mg and serves to weigh out extremely small mass fractions. Even more accurate balances with a resolution of 1 microgram are called microbalances. Analytical scales work according to the principle of the compensated torque, which is generated by the mass to be measured. This is then compensated by an electromagnetic force. Since the scales are very sensitive, fingerprints or humidity on the samples can lead to incorrect results. Therefore the sample container must be completely empty and dried completely in a desiccator.
