LAB / PRECISION BALANCES
At System Scale, we recognize the need for highly accurate results from your lab balances and precision weighing solutions. Achieving reliable analytical results for your laboratory or precision weighing needs is dependent on a number of factors such as the initial sample, the way it’s prepared, the quality of the lab or precision balance itself, and so on. With up to 60% of laboratory time spent preparing samples, you need weighing solutions that ensure you get accurate results the first time to avoid out-of-spec errors and costly re-working.
System Scale is proud to offer a wide selection of lab / precision balances to fit any precision-weighing need you might have.

LAB / PRECISION BALANCES
These precision laboratory balances, which are also called top loading balances, are a type of scale designed to offer highly accurate results within the sub-milligram range. Used for the measurement of small samples, precision balances provide an accurate, quick, and simple way to determine the weight of items such as particulate matter. Electronic precision balances offer a wide range of weighing capacities, with maximum capacities up to 64 kg.
Precision balances produce steady readings in a wider range of environmental conditions than other balances which are required to be used under specific conditions to ensure accurate readings. Being less sensitive to temperature fluctuations and air currents, precision balances can serve as the more convenient method of measurement.

APPLICATIONS
A wide range of industries rely on precision equipment, with chemistry being the most common. However, many other industries use precision balances in order to perform their jobs, including those in research, quality control, pharma, chemical, food, education, and even textile. Common applications include:
- Lab Precision and Analytical Weighing
- Formulation
- Dynamic Weighing
- Density Measurement
- Differential Measurement
- Filter Weighing
- Interval Weighing
- Mass Comparison
- Hazardous Area Weighing
- Test Weight Verification

CALVAULT ASSET MANAGEMENT
If you work in a laboratory, you know that ensuring cleanliness has a significant impact on both the safety of those operating the equipment and cross-contamination risk. Keeping a balance properly maintained is a key aspect of owning precision weighing equipment. This can minimize cross-contamination risk, enhance user safety,
increase operating reliability, and reduce equipment failure rates. There are 6 steps for a clean balance:
- Understanding that cleansing is essential
- Determining which cleansing agents to use
- Scheduling a time to clean the balance
- Performing balance cleansing procedures
- Cleaning weighing instruments
- Avoiding soiling the balances
