High Accuracy & Precision Digital Measuring Weight Scale Or Bala

Is It Time to Get a New Scale or Balance?

Angela Passero

We understand, you get attached to your lab balance. You’ve had it for years and tend to rely on it like a third hand. But how long is too long to use the same balance? When is it time for a replacement?

First off, consider these questions:
• Does your balance need maintenance more often than it used to?
• Does your balance hold its calibration, or does it need to be recalibrated after just a few weighing tasks?
• Are its weighing results consistently unstable, with drift or unexplained jumps? Have the stability and repeatability become inaccurate?
• Are there signs of corrosion in the pan or at access points?
• Have your weighing needs changed, or do you need more advanced features?

Answering yes to any of those questions does not necessarily mean you need to replace your balance; these issues could have a straightforward solution. A simple Google search or trip to a certified technician could answer all your problems. However, if your balance has repeated issues or requires frequent maintenance, the money and time may not be worth it.

Often times, a replacement is a better decision than a repair. Your balance needs are an important aspect to consider. Would a newer device be more productive? The main benefits of upgrading are that the newest balance technologies allow labs to be more effective and cost-efficient.

If you do decide that a new balance is needed, check out Humboldt’s scale and balance wizard to find one that fits all your needs.
