Microbalance for Precision Weighing in the Lab
Microbalance with multiple measurement modes for a range of research needs
Overview | Specifications | Features | Gallery | In the Box | Accessories | Resources and Support
With high precision electromagnetic sensors, an Ossila Microbalance is essential in experiments requiring precise stoichiometry. Measure small quantities with a high weight resolution of 10 µg up to 31 g and 0.1 mg resolution at higher weights. Choose between a maximum weight capacity of 120 g or 220 g and select internal calibration or external calibration to suit your research needs.
Our microbalances feature a wide range of measurement options including multiple weight units (mg, g, lb, oz, and ct), part counting, and density. Plus with data output via RS232 interface enables data logging or direct connection to a printer. All of this is controlled using a simple-to-use interface.

Microbalance Features
High Precision Sensing
Our microbalances are equipped with high precision electromagnetic sensors. Offering superior accuracy and faster response time, you can weigh down to 10 µg with a response time of only 2.5 seconds. For weights above 31 g, achieve a weigth resolution of 0.1 mg.
Features Based on Your Needs
With different maximum weight capacities to choose from, you can select the weight ranges required in your research processes. In addition, you can also choose between scales with internal or external calibration, so you can prioritize the features you need.
Multiple Measuring Modes
The integrated software allows you to select a wide variety of weighing modes. With an Ossila Microbalance, you can choose the measurement units that best suits your research and perform a range of measurements, including part counting, percentage determinations, density measurements, and weight checking.
RS232 Connectivity
The microbalance can easily be connected to a computer or printer via RS232. The baud rate of the data can be adjusted based upon the connected equipment and data can be output automatically, as a continuous stream, on demand, or via remote command.
In-House Certification
Each microbalance includes a test certificate, giving you the knowledge that the values you are measuring are accurate. We measure the performance of the scales over the full range using traceable class E1 weights ranging from 1 mg to 100 g.
