Explorer semi-micro balances

Ohaus Explorer semi-micro balances for Application-Based Model Selection

This series is great for laboratory weighing, formulation, sample preparation, incoming inspection, and production quality control, where the right choice often depends on differences in capacity, readability, pan size, portability, and calibration options. 

When laboratory work and research requires accuracy to the hundred-thousandth, there is simply no room for error.

Explorer’s high-speed single module loadcell is precision-made from a single block of metal. This advanced design makes it rugged, highly repeatable, and suitable for a wide variety of environments and applications. Each weighing cell is individually temperature compensated and undergoes OHAUS’ rigorous testing process under a range of conditions. OHAUS’ industry leading signal processing and advanced filter options prevent drift, and allows for use in sub-optimal environments.
