Balances, Scales and Weighing
Laboratory balances are used to accurately determine the mass or weight of an item or substance within a specific weight range and to a particular readability.
They are typically used to measure the weight of smaller amounts of substances in grams, milligrams, or micrograms. The term “scale” is typically used when referring to similar instruments that weigh larger amounts in kilograms.

Detect Fine Variations
Analytical Balances
These highly precise laboratory balances are designed to detect small variations in mass. They are typically designed with an enclosed measuring pan to avoid the influences of dust and air currents.
View Exact Readouts
Electric Toploading Balances
Also known as precision balances, they feature digital readouts to enable weighing quantities to a precise number. Considered semi-analytical, they usually have readabilities to 0.01g.
Identify Quantities of Liquid
Moisture Analyzers
Also known as moisture balances or moisture meters, these balances feature heating and weighing components to measure the moisture content in paste and solid materials.
