What is an analytical balance?
An analytical balance is an extremely precise weighing instrument capable of weighing subjects with a readability of up to 0.01mg. They have a higher readily than a precision balance, but are less accurate than semi micro and micro balances. The extreme precision of a lab analytical balance means that it must be used with an anti-vibration table and draught shield to ensure that weighing results remain accurate.
What is an analytical balance used for in the lab?
Analytical balances for laboratories can be used in many different ways and come with an extensive range of features that makes them suitable for a variety of complex weighing tasks. Common features of a laboratory analytical balance are density determination, conformance testing and statistical analysis.
As well as this, the Equinox comes with peak hold features and dynamic animal weighing, making it suitable for weighing small insects in the entomology and zoology fields.
Formulation can also be achieved using our analytical balances; a process that allows users to store and add the weights of multiple ingredients to form a total weight value. This function is designed for pharmaceutical labs, product development and food production.
How to avoid analytical balance errors
Weighing errors and inaccurate results are expected if your laboratory analytical balance is not set up in the correct environment. Users should avoid using their analytical lab balances in areas that are too hot or too cold, as the temperature could affect the weighing results, especially when weighing liquids that may evaporate or form condensation.
Breezes and vibrations must also be controlled, and your analytical balance must be used with a draught shield and anti-vibration table to ensure results remain accurate. Adjustable feet should also be used to provide a safe, secure and level base for your analytical lab balance.
Electrostatic charges can also alter results on the screen, so it is recommended to use a discharge ionizer to help combat this.
Lastly, it is recommended that your lab analytical balance is kept clean at all times. Debris, dust, dirt or hairs can alter results and it is advised to use a soft brush and suitable cleaning solution to remove any from the weighing pan. It is also a good idea to use gloves and tongs when handling samples as this minimises any potential spreading of debris.
