Typical capacity

Analytical balances of this type commonly offer capacities ranging from a few hundred grams up to several kilograms, with high readability.

Readability

Units in this class typically provide readability down to 0.01g or finer, suitable for high-precision applications.

Pan size

The weighing pan size for top-loading analytical balances is commonly around 180mm x 180mm, accommodating various sample containers.

Power supply

This equipment typically operates on a standard mains power supply, commonly 230V AC, 50Hz for the UK market, via an external power adapter.

Calibration

Many Sartorius Masterpro series balances feature isoCAL, an automatic internal calibration and adjustment function.

Interface

Units of this type commonly include RS232 interfaces for data transfer to printers or computers.

• What is the difference between an analytical balance and a precision balance?

  Analytical balances typically offer higher readability (often to 0.1mg or finer) and usually feature a draft shield, making them suitable for very small samples. Precision balances have lower readability (e.g., 0.01g or 0.001g) and may not always include a draft shield.

• Is this balance suitable for GLP/ISO environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for an analytical balance?

• Can this balance be connected to a computer or printer?

• How does temperature affect balance accuracy?

Analytical balances remain essential lab tools valued for precision and reliability across pharmaceutical, biotech and research settings. Buyers typically prioritise calibration history and service records when purchasing used models, as proper maintenance directly affects measurement accuracy. Industry sentiment recognises these instruments as durable investments; common strengths include consistent performance and straightforward operation. When evaluating used units, inspect for visible wear, verify calibration certificates, and confirm availability of spare parts and technical support for the specific model.
