What is the typical footprint of an analytical balance like the MSA124S?

Analytical balances of this precision class typically have a compact footprint, often around 250mm x 400mm, not including external power supplies or accessories. Buyers should contact the seller for exact dimensions of this specific unit.

Does this type of balance require a special environment?

Yes, for optimal performance, analytical balances require a stable environment free from vibrations, drafts, and significant temperature fluctuations. A dedicated weighing table is often recommended.

What kind of calibration is needed for an analytical balance?

Regular internal and external calibration using certified weights is crucial for maintaining accuracy. The frequency depends on usage and regulatory requirements, but daily internal checks are common.

Can this balance connect to a PC for data logging?

Units in this series commonly feature various connectivity options such as USB, RS-232, and Ethernet, allowing for connection to a PC for data logging and integration with laboratory information management systems (LIMS).

Are spare parts and service readily available for Sartorius balances?

Sartorius is a major manufacturer of laboratory equipment, and spare parts, consumables, and service support are generally available through their network or authorised distributors in the UK.

Brand: Sartorius
SKU: 50151.SR2A
Price: 1290 GBP
Availability: InStock

Price: £ 1,290

This listing is for a Sartorius MSA124S Balance

The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate release.

The MSA124S is part of the Sartorius “Cubis” series of analytical balances, which are modular, high-performance instruments designed for milligram-level weighing.

Very fine resolution / readability: it supports a readability of 0.1 mg (0.0001 g) in many configurations.

Weighing capacity: around 120 g (for the “124” model) in the typical configuration.

Excellent repeatability and linearity: e.g., repeatability ≤ ±0.1 mg, linearity ≤ ±0.2 mg.

High-end interface and connectivity: E.g., Ethernet, USB, RS-232, optional Bluetooth; also SD-card reader for data transfer.

Advanced ergonomic features: tiltable and removable display/control unit, motorised draft shield (in certain variants) to minimise environmental influences.

Compliant with GLP/GMP/laboratory traceability requirements: audit trails, user profiles, leveling assistance etc in higher-end configurations

Because of its high precision and fine resolution, the MSA124S is best suited for:

Analytical laboratories performing gravimetric measurements, chemical/ pharmaceutical labs, material science labs.

Applications where small sample masses must be weighed accurately (e.g., formulations, dosing, microparticles).

Environments requiring audit-trail/logging, connectivity, and data export (e.g., regulated labs).

Use cases where drift/offset must be minimised and environmental effects (drafts, vibrations, static) must be managed.
