Ohaus® Scout® STX Touchscreen Balance

Laboratory balances are used to measure the mass of solids, liquids, and other samples. We offer a variety of balances as well as weighing boats, weighing paper, weighing bottles, and weighing funnels for your laboratory needs.  

  • Analytical Balances are completely enclosed to prevent dust and air currents and can detect very small variations in mass to ensure the most accurate measurements.
  • Precision Balances are also enclosed to prevent currents during measurement but are less sensitive to small variations in mass. Precision balances typically have higher capacity compared to analytical balances.
  • Toploading Balances are not enclosed and therefore less precise than analytical and precision balances, but offer convenient, unencumbered weighing and a broader range of mass capacities.
  • Moisture Analyzers (drying balances) have both a weighing unit and a heating unit and are used to measure the moisture content in liquid and solid materials upon drying.

Related Applications
Sample Preparation by Filtration
Filtration separates substances based on physical or chemical properties. Lab samples are routinely filtered before analysis to reduce sample complexity and increase analyte purity. This allows scientists to generate higher quality analytical results.
Cell Culture Media Preparation
Culture media preparation for in vitro cell cultivation including preparation of different media formats, sterilization methods, cell growth and regulation supplements, media storage and use.
Microbial Culture Media Preparation
Culture media provides essential nutrients for the cultivation of microbes. They also contain inhibitors for selective growth of specific microorganisms.
Wet Chemical Analysis
The wet chemical analysis involves identifying and quantifying the desired elements present in a liquid sample using several measuring techniques. With chemical reagents, the analyte converts a dye proportionally, which can be read-out visually or photometrically.
