There are many situations where weighing in the lab isn’t possible and measurements need to be taken in the field. In these cases, a portable balance is needed and there are various features to consider based on your application to achieve the most reliable results. Not all instruments are considered portable in the same way. These are the main features you need to consider when looking for a ...
Some balances can measure minute samples far lighter than a single gram. The accuracy of results when weighing such small samples can often be influenced by external factors from the environment. This includes air-flow, dust & other particles in the air, and even movement around them which can cause vibrations. These effects must be cancelled out to produce the most accurate results. Even ...
The Adam DU software allows you to connect up to 8 of their balances or scales to a PC. From here you can view and manage collected data from each balance. The software also allows you to graphically present data and perform basic statistical analyses, and also export to other programmes such as Microsoft Excel or Statistical Analyses software packages to perform more complex data analysis.

Adam Equipment are world leading suppliers of balances and weighing equipment. We are pleased to share their guide to understanding balances and what option may be the best for you.
Weighing instruments come in many different shapes and forms, each adapted to specific tasks and applications. Learn about the various types of scales and balances used in different industries, and the func...
Moisture analysers (also known as moisture balances) are used to check the moisture content of a sample. They are widely used in the food industry and can provide critical information about food quality. In moisture analysis, samples are often processed before they’re heated in order to dry evenly, help prevent burns and get correct measurements. Proper sample preparation ensures consistent r...
An important part of accurate weighing is regular calibration of your balances.
If you use calibration weights to perform a manual calibration, these must be handled with care to keep them accurate.
Follow our tips below to keep your weights accurate and in good condition.
[caption id="attachment_11201" align="aligncenter" width="241"] Calibration weights are expertly machined to give ...
Moisture balances offer a fast way to analyse the moisture content of food samples, and are ideal for quality control checks during production or before final product release.
However some of the balances contain glass parts, which presents a hazard in food manufacturing areas.
We've found two moisture balances that do not contain any glass, making them suitable for food production areas....
Moisture balances require the user to understand how to test their particular material, having an idea of the results expected and knowing how to prepare the sample correctly. Depending on your material, not only can water be evaporated but it may be oils, alcohols etc. that are also altered by heat. Moisture balances work by drying samples using heat from halogen lamps mounted above the...
Suspended solids is widely used as an indicator of water purity, particularly in discharge consent. When testing by the full gravimetric method, a balance, oven and desiccator are required to thoroughly dry the isolated solids until a constant weight is found. (For more details on this, see our previous post about the difference between gravimetric testing and other methods.) It may be te...
Q: I work with small components which we need to count - sometimes for a stock take, or when we're making up packs for sale. Is there any tool we can use to make this counting step faster and more accurate? [caption id="attachment_8773" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Counting small parts like washers, screws or electronic components? Use a balance to count them by weight quickly and accur...
From highly sensitive 5 decimal place analytical balances right through to industrial floor scales that can withstand tough use and hosing down, balances come in all shapes and sizes.
Choosing the right one is easy when you take the time to compile a shortlist of the features you need.
[caption id="attachment_6953" align="aligncenter" width="250"] Balances come in a wide range of sizes an...
Balances are relied on in most laboratories and industrial sites for a range of experiments and everyday quality control or operational work. Keeping your balance regularly calibrated is essential to ensure the readings they give are accurate. This does not need to mean a costly visit from an external contractor, as many balances are easily calibrated in house. [caption id="attachment_739...
Thanks for sharing such a great information.. It really helpful to me.. I always search to read the quality content and finally i found this in you post. keep it up!
I came across your article about "DPD Tablets" on Camlab Info, and it's a valuable resource for anyone seeking information about water testing and analysis using DPD tablets. Your explanation of their usage and significance in water quality monitoring is quite informative.
This article on nanocolor tube tests is a gem for analytical enthusiasts. The idea of zero calibration is intriguing, and your detailed explanation makes it accessible. The step-by-step process helps demystify the technique for beginners like me. The use cases you've highlighted, particularly in...
Grant have introduced the new Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw (CRFT), which is a liquid nitrogen and cryogen free controlled rate freeze and thaw system for cryopreservation in a wide range of applications. Cryopreservation is a process where biological materials such as cells, tissues...
A dipslide is a means of testing the microbial content of liquids. This is a common method of monitoring and measuring microbial activity within many systems and commonly cooling systems. Usually the use of a dipslide is the first line of defence for the testing of microbial issues that could be...
Purchasing items using donated funds without the burden of VAT will now save many Millions of pounds each year which can be put to better use in advancing scientific knowledge to provide new treatments and cures that will shape the medicines of the future.
Working with pressure/vacuum conditions in the lab is common but not all products are designed to withstand this. Products with appropriate geometry and wall thickness are suitable for working safely with pressure. For example, filtering flasks, desiccators, or flat flange vessels, as well as...
