Laboratory Equipment
Laboratory weighing scales are precision instruments used to measure the mass of substances with high accuracy. Essential in scientific research, pharmaceuticals, and chemical analysis, these scales come in various types, including analytical balances, precision balances, and microbalances, each suited for different sensitivity requirements. Analytical balances, with readability up to 0.1 mg, are ideal for precise measurements, while precision balances offer a slightly lower accuracy but higher capacity.
Microbalances provide even greater sensitivity for minute quantities. Key features include tare functions, digital displays, calibration options, and often connectivity for data transfer. Proper calibration and maintenance are crucial for reliable results.
