Advanced design makes weighing tiny amounts easier
Laboratory projects involving expensive, rare or toxic substances often demand that only the smallest possible sample quantities are used. The challenge is to prevent waste by accurately weighing just a few milligrams, and minimizing the risk of out-of-specification results and costly reworking. The XPR Microbalance (photo) allows for accurate weighing of very small amounts (down to several milligrams). Features include active temperature control, which helps keep the balance temperature constant for improved accuracy. Its proprietary software provides easily identifiable, self-explanatory icons that are displayed on an intuitive, smartphone-like touchscreen, says the company. — Mettler Toledo, Griefensee, Switzerland
