Luna LPB 423e Precision Balance (420g Capacity)

When working with chemicals and powders, you want equipment that is easy to clean after use. The Luna LPB 423e Precision Balance (420g Capacity) has a sealed keypad and a stainless steel pan, so is very easy to clean. For improved efficiency in lab environments, it is also capable of measuring large samples up to 420g in weight, with a high readability of 0.001g.

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 are typically able to accommodate larger sample sizes than analytical balances, however they are not as precise, and therefore won't return the same level of readability. Still, they are able to weigh relatively large loads with far greater precision than standard scales, making them ideal for chemical applications and manufacturing.

Applications for the Luna LPB 423e Precision Balance

The Luna LAB Precision Balance has a decently sized pan for holding larger loads, and is easy to clean after accommodating messy substances like powders. It is therefore suitable for carrying out vital tasks in chemical or biological labs, including:

• Weighing
• Parts counting
• Percentage weighing
• Dynamic weighing (e.g. liquids, animals)
• Determining density
• Checkweighing
• Cumulative weighing

How Do I Operate the Luna LPB 423e Precision Balance?

With colour coded navigation and a bright, clear screen, the Luna LPB 423e Precision Balance can be used with little coaching. For more information on the set-up and use of your Precision Balance, take a look at the PDF Instruction Manual below:

What Is the Capacity of the Luna LPB 423e Precision Balance?

The Luna LPB 423e Balance has a relatively large maximum capacity of 420g, yet still returns a precise result with a readability of 0.001g. Additionally it has a 120mm diameter pan, so can be used for a number of lab-based applications, including weighing liquids or medium-sized sample loads.

How Do I Calibrate the Luna LPB 423e Precision Balance?

The Luna LPB 423e Precision Balance requires external or manual calibration before use. To do this, you will need to place objects with a known weight on the balance and check that it returns the correct measurement.

Date and Time Printouts for Data Traceability

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