Which balance for which job
Balances are sorted by readability, which is the smallest step the display can show. The readability decides the price and whether your result means anything.
| Type | Readability, roughly | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Semi micro balance | 0.01 mg | Small sample weights where every hundredth of a milligram counts |
| Analytical balance | 0.1 mg | Weighing out for quantitative analysis, standards and reagent preparation. Has a draught shield around the pan |
| Precision balance, top loading | 0.01 g to 0.001 g | Preparing solutions, weighing media and general bench work |
| Bench and platform scale | 1 g and coarser | Bulk material, samples in containers, goods in and out |
A simple guide: pick the balance by the smallest amount you will ever weigh, not by the largest. A balance that reads to 0.01 g cannot be trusted to weigh out fifty milligrams, however large its capacity.
What you weigh out on it is on the lab chemicals page, and ovens, incubators and cold storage are on the laboratory equipment page.
Where you put the balance decides what it reads
An analytical balance is the most sensitive instrument on most benches, and the room around it works against it. Four things move the reading before anything is wrong with the balance itself.
| What | What it does to the reading |
|---|---|
| A bench that flexes or a table that is not level | The reading wanders and does not settle |
| Draught, including air conditioning and an open door | The value drifts up and down while you watch it |
| Vibration from a centrifuge, a fume hood or traffic | The last digit never stands still |
| Temperature change and the warmth of your hand | A slow drift over minutes |
Get those four right before you spend money on a finer balance.
Checking and servicing after delivery
TopBorneo holds equipment for checking balances and scales, and for the temperature check of ovens, refrigerators and freezers. That work is done at the instrument, so put the address in the enquiry and the lab equipment service page sets out what it covers.
Balances drift with use, and they drift faster after a move, a knock or a change of room. A balance that is checked on a fixed cycle gives you a record to show. That is why most laboratories keep the cycle rather than waiting for something to look wrong.
Where TopBorneo delivers
TopBorneo delivers balances and scales across Malaysia from its offices in Labuan and Kota Kinabalu. Put the delivery address in your enquiry and the delivery goes on the quotation. Servicing and checking stay in Malaysia, because someone has to stand next to the instrument. Supply and service are therefore quoted separately.
Common questions
Who supplies analytical balances in Malaysia?
TopBorneo supplies analytical balances, precision balances and bench scales across Malaysia from the offices in Labuan and Kota Kinabalu. Balances are quoted against your request. An enquiry needs the smallest amount you will weigh, the largest, whether the balance goes on a bench or a floor, and the delivery address.
What readability should an analytical balance have?
An analytical balance normally reads to 0.1 mg and has a draught shield around the pan, which is what quantitative work needs. A precision balance reading to 0.01 g suits solution preparation and general bench work. Choose by the smallest amount you will ever weigh, not by the capacity.
Does TopBorneo check and service balances?
TopBorneo holds its own equipment for checking balances and scales, and also for the temperature check of ovens, refrigerators and freezers. That work is done on site in Malaysia. The service page named above sets out what is covered and how a visit is arranged, including balances bought from another supplier.
Why does my balance give a different reading every time?
Usually it is the room and not the balance. A bench that flexes, a draught from air conditioning, a door that opens, vibration from a centrifuge, or the warmth of a hand will all move the last digit. Deal with the bench, the draught and the vibration first, then have the balance checked.
Can TopBorneo deliver a weighing scale outside Sabah and Labuan?
Yes. TopBorneo delivers balances and scales across Malaysia from its offices in Labuan and Kota Kinabalu, so put the delivery address in the enquiry and the delivery goes on the quotation. Checking and servicing stay in Malaysia and are quoted separately, so a buyer further away arranges the checking locally.
