7 Best Practices When Using Analytical Balances

When using an analytical balance, there are several factors that could throw off its accuracy and drastically alter the readout. In order to ensure a precise measurement when using an analytical balance, Pipette.com encourages users to follow these 7 best practices every time they use an analytical balance:

1. Operate in an environment where temperatures are between 18 degrees and 30 degrees Celsius.
2. Place on a stable location like a marble table or counter-top.
3. Use the levelling bubble and the adjustable foot screws to level the balance
4. Position a discharge ionizer next to the analytical balance to prevent electrostatic charge.
5. Isolate the weighing pan by shutting the door on the balance.
6. Remove any spilled samples or stains.
7. Calibrate the scale.

Moreover, users who want to ensure that their readings are precise can also purchase balances that are engineered to give exact readings like the Sartorius Quintix Balance and the Sartorius Secura Balance, both available from Pipette.com.
