Types of Balances Your Laboratory May Require


Precision Balance

Precision Balance


Precision balances are designed to provide accurate weight measurements for general laboratory and clinical applications where high reliability is required but extreme sensitivity is not mandatory. Their wide range of capacities and readability options make them suitable for tasks such as sample preparation, medication dosage, and quality checks in veterinary or clinical environments.

These balances often include user-friendly features like tare functions, easy calibration, and durable construction to withstand frequent use. They support a variety of applications ranging from routine weighing to pharmaceutical compounding, making them versatile tools for professional settings where accuracy and repeatability matter.

Analytical Balances


Analytical balances provide exceptional precision with readability often down to 0.1 mg or better, essential for quantitative chemical analysis, formulation, and research requiring extreme accuracy. Their enclosed weighing chambers protect samples from environmental disturbances such as airflow, dust, and static charges to ensure consistent measurements.

These balances are equipped with advanced features such as automatic calibration, internal diagnostics, and connectivity options for data logging, which are indispensable in clinical laboratories and research facilities. Analytical balances are critical for applications where even minimal deviations can affect the outcome of experiments or treatments.

What You Need to Know Before Selecting a Balance and Making an Investment

Key Factors to Consider

Key factors to consider when selecting a balance include weighing capacity, readability, precision, calibration methods, connectivity options, and environmental compatibility. Evaluating the specific requirements of your clinical or veterinary setting ensures optimal performance and measurement reliability.

Additionally, user interface ease, durability, and maintenance support are important to guarantee long-term use. Considering factors such as anti-vibration mechanisms or draft shields can also enhance measurement accuracy in challenging environments.

Price Range in the Market

The price range for balances varies significantly depending on accuracy, capacity, and included features. Precision balances typically range from mid to high price tiers, reflecting their robustness and functionality, while analytical balances command premium prices due to their advanced sensitivity and technology.

Investing in a quality balance involves balancing initial cost against features and durability. Lower-cost models might suit basic weighing needs, but sophisticated laboratories may require more expensive instruments to meet stringent accuracy and regulatory demands.

Quality-Price Ratio

The quality-price ratio is crucial when selecting balances, as higher-end models often offer advanced features that improve workflow and measurement confidence. Kalstein balances are recognized for delivering excellent accuracy, reliability, and user-friendly operation at competitive prices.

Choosing the right balance means considering not just upfront cost but total cost of ownership, including maintenance, calibration services, and potential downtime. A well-chosen balance maximizes efficiency and reduces long-term expenses.

Expected Lifetime According to Use and Maintenance

The expected lifetime of a balance depends on usage intensity and maintenance practice. Regular calibration, clean environments, and protective measures can extend its functional life significantly, providing many years of reliable service.

Ignoring maintenance can lead to drift in accuracy and potential equipment failure. Kalstein offers comprehensive support and guidelines to help users maintain their balances and ensure peak performance over time.
