Accuris™ Compact Balance Series, Readability, 0.1 to 0.01g
Accuris™ Compact balances have been designed to meet the basic needs of academic and research labs requiring weight determinations to increments of 0.01g to 0.1 g. Their reliable and precise weighing technology utilizes gold-plated, ceramic capacitors to determine sample mass.Â
- Compact housing: 7.5 x 11 inch footprint
- Readability 0.1 to 0.01g
- Easy in-lab calibration feature
- RS232 port for data output to a computer or printer
- Multiple mode options (standard weighing, count mode, & percent)
- Simple, reliable performance
Accuris Compact balances have been designed to meet the basic needs of academic and research labs requiring weight determinations to increments of 0.01g to 0.1 g. Their reliable and precise weighing technology utilizes gold-plated, ceramic capacitors to determine sample mass.
The Compact line includes 6 models covering a wide range of maximum weight capacities. The lower capacity units (120g, 300g, and 500g) are readable to 0.01 g, and come with a draft shield ring to prevent air currents from affecting measurements. These models feature a 4.5-inch diameter, stainless steel weigh pan. The larger capacity models (1000g, 5000g, and 10,000g) do not include the draft shield ring, come with larger weighing pans of 6.3 to 7-inch diameter, and are readable to 0.1g.
All balances in the Accuris Compact line offer large, brightly lit LCD panels, and are easy to operate using the intuitive and splash-resistant control panel. Different modes allow weight to be displayed in various units: grams, ounces, carats, and simple programs can be used for piece counting and percent deviation weighing.
Leveling feet are located toward the front of the balance for easy access, and a leveling bubble in the control panel is easy to see for quick and simple leveling on the lab bench. The balances can be calibrated using a calibration weight and a few keystrokes on the control panel - just select a calibration point in the calibration mode, place the calibration weight onto the weighing pan, and press the "CAL" button.
Lightweight, and small in size, Accuris Compact balances will provide years of trouble-free service.

A new, revolutionary weighing technology has recently been developed by Scientech. Since this progressive technology is so exceptional, a patent has been filed and is currently pending. In addition, this innovative technology is now the foundation for a new series of electronic balances that carry Scientech's Zeta trademark.
The heart of the new Zeta Series is based on a direct-loading, electromagnetic, force-restoration cell concept, which differs dramatically from normal lever-configuration sensor designs. Thus, Zeta models have a more elegant design with fewer moving parts. The result is a more rugged balance with an easily repairable, modular sensor while preserving high performance.
In addition, each unrivaled Zeta model is handcrafted in the USA and retains all the accuracy, durability, and user-friendly standard features you have come to expect from Scientech. The benefits inherent in the Zeta Series also empower Scientech to offer you a new North American 5-year warranty backed by Scientech’s ISO9001 certification.
