Equinox EAB 224e Semi-Micro and Analytical Balance

With a capacity range of 10mg - 220g and a readability of 0.0001g, the Equinox EAB is a highly accurate laboratory scale. Its icon based display is incredibly easy to operate, while its high level of precision makes it ideal for measuring small or fine powders in industries like pharmaceuticals.

Please note that a calibration certificate for this device must be purchased at the same time by ticking the box at the top of the page. You cannot purchase this certificate for a balance or scale that has already been ordered.

What Is the Difference Between a Semi-Micro and Analytical Balance?

Semi-micro balances are typically used to measure samples with small masses. They provide higher readabilities (i.e. measurements will have more decimal places) than analytic balances. As a result, they can be used in constant environments where fine samples like powders need to be measured, however they are not as precise as micro balances.

Applications for the Equinox EAB 224e Semi-Micro and Analytical Balance

Designed to deliver highly precise measurements in stable settings, the Equinox EAB Semi-Micro Analytical Balance can be used for a number of lab-centred applications, including:

• Quality Assurance
• Science Education
• Research
• Production and Manufacturing
• Precision Counting
• Textiles

What Is the Capacity of the Equinox Balance?

The capacity of the Equinox Balance ranges from 10mg - 220g, with a readability of 0.0001g. As it has such a high readability but a lower capacity compared to many precision or top loading balances, it is suitable for measuring smaller samples very meticulously.

How Do I Operate the Equinox EAB 224e Semi-Micro and Analytical Balance?

Featuring a coloured 5" (800 x 4800 pixels) touch-screen and an icon-based menu, the Equinox Balance is incredibly easy to configure and operate. You can find detailed information on the set up and use of your Equinox EAB Balance in the PDF Instruction Manual below:

How Do I Calibrate the Equinox EAB 224e Semi-Micro and Analytical Balance?

The EAB 224e Balance requires external or manual calibration before use. To carry out this process, place a weighing instrument with a known mass on the balance and check the measurement it returns is correct. If you don't require a high level of speed in your laboratory, a balance with external calibration is typically better value for money than an internally calibrating one.

Date and Time Printouts for Data Traceability

To enable proper data tracking according to Good Laboratory Practise (GLP) guidelines, printouts supplied by the Equinox EAB are marked with the date and time. You can use this function to print a report each time your balance is calibrated, allowing you to keep a full record.

Security Function

A password protection function ensures you can protect your data from unauthorised access. This also allows you to protect your settings as a user's password must be entered before the balance's functions can be altered on a specific account.
