UltraCruz® Mini Lab Balance quickly and accurately displays sample measurements on an easy-to-read backlit LCD screen. It is extraordinarily compact, easy to use, and convenient for exact weighing applications up to a maximum of 500 grams of material in the laboratory, in educational environments, and in the wider industrial workplace. Buttons for ON/OFF, MODE and TARE are located on the front for easy access. Other specifications include a readability of 0.1 grams, linearity of 0.2 grams, round pan size of 2.1 x 2.5 inches / 5.1 x 5.7 centimeters, and exterior dimensions of 2.6 x 3.9 x 0.75 inches. Weighing unit options consist of grams (g), carats (ct), pennyweights (dwt), and grains (gn). Designed for portability, the Mini Lab Balances are powered by two included AAA batteries. After one minute sitting idle, the power automatically shuts off to conserve battery life. The software offers an external calibration function. Instructions are conveniently printed on the underside of the snap on protective cover.
