Our lab cultures archaeal organisms to study their physiology. In order to make our organism-specific media, among other reagents, we need an accurate all-around scale for measuring from a few milligrams to a few hundred grams.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Cell Culture

Starting Material

Solid, powder reagents

Protocol Overview

Find and collect reagents. Place weigh boat/paper and tare/zero the scale. Add reagents until desired weight is reached.

Tips

In order to keep the weigh chamber clean, I typically add the bulk of my reagents outside.

Results Summary

Using this scale, we are able to quickly measure necessary amounts of reagent to prepare media and other solutions.

Features Summary

Bright touch screen display, glass protective chamber
