Precision and analytical balances are often confused with one another, but it’s important to know the difference so you can choose the best one for your needs. This blog will describe what a balance is, what precision, analytical, semi-micro and...
There are lots of devices that can be used for testing moisture in a sample. However, moisture analysers eliminate the need for laborious oven testing methods. But how does a moisture analyser work? What is a moisture analyser? A...
When purchasing a weighing scale, looking for a product with multiple functions is ideal, but do you know which functions will benefit you the most? Many models have an accumulation feature, particularly bench scales and floor scales. But what is...
When you’re using highly sensitive balances, even the smallest disruptions in the environment, such as vibrations, can cause fatal errors in your results. To prevent this, it’s recommended to use an anti-vibration table to decrease the risk of errors caused...
For most lab weighing applications, it’s essential that you record weight data. Keeping records of weight readings from your lab balance – whether that’s an analytical balance or a precision balance - is crucial for a variety of reasons. By...
Vibrations are just one of the many factors that can cause inaccurate results when weighing, especially when using high precision balances in laboratory environments. Here we’ll discuss the best methods for trying to curb your lab vibrations, with information on...
In our series of analytical balances blog posts, we have looked at dynamic weighing, statistics and percentage weighing. In this blog post, we look at density determination, and how an analytical balance can be used to calculate this. Density determination...
The world of laboratory scales is vast and often includes the widest possible range of weighing features and functions, so selecting the one that’s right for your specific needs can be a daunting task. In this blog, were going to...
Laboratory balances generally have more functions that the average weighing scale or balance. The main reason is the level of precision required when weighing in a laboratory, and features such as dynamic weighing help to improve weighing accuracy. Dynamic weighing...
