Precision laboratory balances, also called top loading balances, are a form of scale designed to offer highly accurate results, within the sub-milligram range. Used for the measurement of small samples, precision balances provide an accurate, quick, and simple way of determining the weight of items such as particulate matter. Electronic precision balances offer a wide range of weighing capacities, with maximum capacities up to 64 kg. They allow readability in the range of 1 mg (0.001 g) to 1 g, or 0-3 decimal places. High precision laboratory balances can extend this accuracy to 4 decimal places, on the display of the precision balance, 0.0001g (0.1mg) increments are used.

Precision balances produce steady readings in a wider range of environmental conditions than analytical balances which must always be used under strict conditions to ensure accurate readings. Being less sensitive to temperature fluctuations and air currents, precision balances can serve as the more convenient method of measurement. While a draft shield is not always necessary for the accurate use of a precision balance, when working in a fume hood or under normal conditions with a high-resolution precision balance of 1 mg readability, one should be employed to maintain performance.

Liquid Recirculating Heater/Chillers are crucial for many laboratory and industrial processes. Applications can range from controlling reactor temperatures, to cooling condensers, assisting in automotive and materials testing, cooling down laboratory equipment, lasers, and microscopes, all the way to large scale machinery. Through the Across International brand, and our carefully selected partners, we have built a comprehensive catalog of safe and reliable temperature control solutions from -120C to +400C.

Across International provides filtration solutions from benchtop Buchner funnels all the way to industrial scale filtration skids, and everything in between.
