Lab balances take a lot of abuse. Everybody is hard on them. And eventually they start to be a source of frustration in the lab.
You have to remeasure because your results are more and more inconsistent. You have to calibrate more often. You get that feeling in the pit of your stomach every time you zero it, wondering what cryptic error you’re going to get.
Maybe you put off replacing those tareable old balances because name brand balances can decimate your budget.
These Adam Equipment balances are priced better than your existing brand, ready to ship from Connecticut today, and have the analytical sensitivity you need.
This is how you get rid of that frustration.
Do you need analytical or precision?
Analytical balances
are usually used with an anti-vibration table to help minimize mass fluctuations caused by their environment.
They’re crazy precise and pick up on slight changes in weight and in the environment. That’s why they have draught shields enclosing the weighing chamber. Air circulation, even your own breathing, can scramble your results.
Analytical is probably what you need, since these types of balances are the most common in most labs, from life sciences to forensics.
You can find a variety of analytical balances at a fair price here.
Precision balances
aren’t quite as sensitive, but they are sturdier and feature a higher capacity
(from about 220g to 2100g).
So if you need to weight something in the medical field, like a blood bag, you can still get excellent accuracy with that higher capacity.
The precision balances you need can be found here.
Can your budget afford the rework your old balances cause?
An old balance or a cheap balance has three effects on your work.
- Studies can’t be reproduced.
- Results are inconsistent.
- Measurements are randomly far off.
So you repeat work (and feel that frustration) every day. Multiple times.
You wear an antistatic bracelet. You use the antistatic gun. Your processes are good. Make sure your balance can keep up.
