If you work with small items or samples and are considering the purchase of a scale or balance, it is important to check manufacturer specifications related to minimum load.

The environment surrounding a balance is vital if you are to maintain the manufacturer's stated performance ratings. Really, the manufacturer doesn’t matter in this regard, as a bad environment will adversely affect any balance.

In reference to balances and scales, linearity relates to how precisely a device is calibrated and, therefore, how accurate its measurements are.

It means flexibility and the capacity to complete more measurement tasks than just weight alone. Units with a mechanism for under-balance weighing can be paired with a weight hook to help extend their versatility.

Balances are used to measure the mass of liquids, solids, and other types of samples. They provide precise information for applications in analytical chemistry.

Rotary evaporation is a laboratory technique commonly used for a variety of applications. These uses include: removing (distilling or “stripping”) a solvent or solvents from a sample, concentrating a solution, recycling solvents, or synthesizing chemicals...

Vacuum filtration, also known as suction filtration, is a chemistry laboratory technique that allows for accelerating and streamlining filtration processes with the help of a pressure differential.

If your business sells goods or products directly to consumers based on weight, accuracy in measurement affects your bottom line.

From storing testing samples to lab chemicals, laboratory refrigerators have an essential role to play. The wrong kind of refrigerator can result in spoiled substances and huge financial losses.

Before taking a sip of a cocktail, you’ve probably never stopped to consider the role weighing scales may have played in the creation of the spirits. Before we raise our glasses to toast our scales, let’s look at how distilleries utilize weighing equipment...
