Compact Balances for Routine Weighing, Plus a Draft-Reducing Enclosure
This collection carries the Benchmark Scientific Accuris compact balances, a bench series for routine sample and reagent weighing, and the balance enclosure hood, a transparent shield that blocks the air currents that make a sensitive reading drift.
The pairing is deliberate: at the resolutions lab work needs, the single biggest source of an unstable reading is moving air from HVAC, doors and people walking past. An enclosure around the balance removes that variable, which is cheaper than chasing it with a more expensive instrument.
For analytical resolutions, higher capacities and the wider balance range, see Laboratory Balances & Scales and Analytical Balances. For weighing patients rather than samples, see Medical Scales.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which balance for everyday sample weighing?
The Accuris compact series covers routine bench weighing. If the protocol specifies analytical resolution (0.1 mg class), that calls for an analytical balance from the wider range instead.
Do I need an enclosure hood?
If readings drift while the sample sits still, yes. Air movement is the usual cause at fine resolutions, and an enclosure removes it without touching the instrument or its calibration.
