Equinox EPB 1203i Precision Balance (1200g Capacity)

The Equinox EPB 1203i Precision Balance (1200g Capacity) is a durable balance ideal for measuring large loads in laboratory environments. As it has a capacity range of 100mg - 1200g, it allows you to measure bigger objects or samples, but has lower precision and readability than Equinox semi-micro analytical balances. With a readability of 0.001g, it still returns very precise measurements and is fitted with a draught shield which protects light samples like powder from being blown off the pan.

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 Are Precision Balances?

Precision balances are also known as 'top loading balances'. They don't provide the same level of precision as analytical or semi-micro balances, but are usually able to measure larger sample sizes with a far greater precision than standard scales, making them ideal for use in production, manufacturing or research.

Applications for the Equinox EPB 1203i Precision Balance

Capable of precisely measuring loads weighing up to 1200g, the EPB 1203i Precision Balance is suitable for use in a number of applications, including:

• Quality Assurance
• Science Education
• Research
• Production and Manufacturing
• Precision Counting
• Dynamic weighing (e.g. animal weighing)
• Textiles

What Is the Capacity of the Equinox Balance?

The capacity of the EPB 1203i Balance ranges from 100mg - 1200g, with a readability of 0.001g. As it is suitable for measuring large samples and can still return a highly precise figure, it is a great choice for use in production or quality assurance.

How Do I Operate the Equinox EPB 1203i Precision Balance?

The Equinox EPB 1203i balance has an easy-to-read 5" (800 x 480 pixels) display for optimal visibility. The display is touchscreen and features a pictorial menu that can be easily operated no matter how tech savvy you are.

How Do I Calibrate the Equinox EPB 1203i Precision Balance?

The EPB 1203i Balance has an in-built automatic calibration function. This means the scale won't require such extensive preparation before use and can be pre-set to adjust itself in the event of a power cut or if environmental factors change.

Date and Time Printouts for Data Traceability

In adherence with Good Laboratory Practise (GLP) guidelines, data printouts supplied by the Equinox EPB are time and date stamped for improved traceability. This can help you keep track of your processes for a more functional, organised laboratory environment.

What Security Features Does This Balance Have?

This balance comes with both physical and software-based security features. Firstly, the software allows users to make password-protected accounts, so settings cannot be changed and data cannot be accessed without proper authorisation. Secondly, a security slot compatible with Kensington-type locks can be engaged so the balance can't be taken out of the work place.
