Mettler Toledo releases analytical balance line

GREIFENSEE, Switzerland – The new line of Excellence Analytical Balances aims to provide users with a high level of process security whilst making weighing workflows error-free, ergonomic, and efficient, says Mettler Toledo. These balances, with advanced intelligent features, ensure full traceability.

Green signal

Amongst these features is the the green StatusLight? indicator. When balance calibration and routine tests are up to date and the balance is level and performing correctly, the StatusLight clearly indicates with a green light that it’s safe to start weighing. Warnings are shown in yellow, with errors in red. The user has the security of knowing that all acquired weighing results meet pre-defined process requirements and hence also the relevant regulations.

Electrostatic solutions

The innovative StaticDetect? sensor technology provides reassurance that weighing results are not influenced by electrostatic charge by automatically checking samples and containers as they are placed on the balance. Influences from electrostatic charge are one of the biggest challenges in analytical weighing. Through normal handling, samples and weighing containers can easily accumulate static, leading to difficulties in dosing and errors in weighing results. With high electrostatic influences, it may not even be possible to achieve a stable reading on the balance. When a container or sample is placed on the balance, StaticDetect measures the weighing error attributable to electrostatic charge and gives a warning if the process tolerance limit is exceeded. Antistatic measures can then be employed. The new compact point electrode accessory attaches to the side of the balance for convenient deionization of charged samples and containers. For the highest process security, users can elect to block the release of the weighing result.

Further technology advancements, such as radio-frequency identification (RFID) read-write capabilities, integrated routine test functionality, and the newly developed graphical leveling guide siButy dziecięce
