Balances – Top Loading

The New Achievers for Your Lab. If you compare the specifications of many lab precision balances on paper, they all look the same – if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. But in the real world there is more to a lab balance than just its technical specifications. The new Sartorius Extend series has been specially designed for effective and reliable weighing in daily lab routines. This is where more powerful technology and application oriented operation and features make all the difference.

The latest technology. More versatility in high resolution applications: 1 mg to 620 g and 10 mg to 6,200 g. Sartorius makes top-of-the-line technology available at a reasonable cost. Sartorius utilizes 21st century technology, such as the unique robotically etched monolithic weigh cell, which ensures long-term high accuracy. The Extend series features the latest powerful microprocessor technology, shortening the response times for faster results. Reliable weighing results, all of the time – even under less than ideal ambient conditions, thanks to the Extend´s highly sophisticated digital compensation algorithms.

Ease of use. When you need to get a heavy workload of repetitive applications done fast and reliably, day and day out, the last thing you need is a lab balance so complicated that it causes operating errors and wastes your valuable time as a result. Welcome to your new Extend balance comfort zone: a simple, easy-to-understand control panel, key function assignments and the easy-to-read display are ideal for efficient weighing in your lab. User-friendly operation: short, plain-English text prompts and cursor keys for navigation make it simple for you to configure the balance to meet your individual requirements. Outstanding readouts thanks to the backlit and high-contrast display (height of digits: 15 mm). The level indicator is positioned conveniently right next to the display so that checking whether the balance is level becomes “second nature” to the operator.

The range of features. Add up all features of the new Sartorius Extend, and you’ll find all the advantages that only a genuine Sartorius lab balance can offer: features that pay for themselves, time and again. A built-in, motorized calibration weight is standard in all precision balances with the –CW suffix. Applied at a touch of a key it ensures the highest weighing accuracy at any time. Whenever you need ISO/GLP-compliant printouts of raw data and/or calibration and adjustment data, the Sartorius Extend balance will generate them – at the touch of a key when connected to a data printer, the YDP03-0CE. The following additional built-in application programs come standard: Weighing in %, net-total formulation, animal weighing/dynamic weighing, mass unit conversion by toggling, calculation (multiplication and division).

• Backlit, high-contrast display with 15 mm digits; exceptionally easy to read under any room lighting conditions
• New operating concept: easy configuration of the individual settings guided by short, menu-driven text prompts (choice of 5 languages) and simple navigation using cursor keys
• Built-in, motorized calibration weight: max. weighing accuracy and max. ease of operation at the touch of a key.
• RS-232C bidirectional interface port; optional Sartorius cable for connection of the balance to a USB port
• Total ease of operation. All keys have positive click action. Clearly defined control panel.

Top Loading Balance

The new line of Shimadzu top-loading balances are engineered with the innovative UniBloc mechanism which brings unrivaled quick response, excellent stability and durability at the same time. Powerful features support any imaginable weighing application. UW Series comes with motor-diven built-in calibration weight and fully-automatic calibration functions.

UniBloc technology and benefits

The traditional core assembly of the electro-magnetic balance is replaced by a single part, the aluminum Shimadzu UniBloc. Digitally controlled wire-cut electric discharge processing makes it possible. This technology, which Shimadzu introduced in our EB-K precision platform balances as early as 1989, brings excellent benefits to the operator. Quick response, stability against temperature change, and outstanding durability.
