Our lab masses out quantities of cancer drugs down to tenths of milligrams, and we need a good scale in order to do so. This particular analytical balance is extremely effective at measuring extremely small masses, and is also quite user-friendly. We have used it successfully many different times to mass out correct quantities of drugs.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Tips

Cut down on any airflow near the scale or it will teeter endlessly.

The Good

Quick and easy to use

The Bad

Extremely expensive

The Bottom Line

A great scale for the money. It handles abuse well and has continued to work for years on end without a re-calibration. I highly recommend this scale for anyone massing out milligrams of substances.
