Balances & Strain Gauges


New Guide on How to Create a Lab Balance Workstation Introduced


Adam Equipment has published a new guide on how to assemble a lab workstation. The guide outlines the procedure in four simple steps, using comprehensive explanations and easy-to-follow terminology. Workstation components include Adam’s Nimbus or Eclipse balance, AVT anti-vibration table, OIML/ASTM certified weights, and Adam DU specialised software.


It’s essential to ensure that lab balances are calibrated properly and operate optimally. This can be done affordably by creating a designated lab balance workstation. Using a combination of Adam products, the workstation unites the precision performance of Adam’s Nimbus or Eclipse analytical balances, the rock-solid stability of the AVT anti-vibration table, the reliability of OIML/ASTM certified weights, and Adam DU analytical software. These products work in tandem to ensure precise, repeatable readings and provide the ideal location to calibrate your balance.


With its durable design, the AVT anti-vibration table helps minimise the effects of vibration during lab balance operation. AVT’s sturdy aluminium construction allows balances to perform with marked precision, despite any movements or air currents that might cause inconsistent or inaccurate results. The solid-granite base offers stability and creates the ideal setting in which to perform balance calibration or lab tests. AVT also features a convenient working surface that is suitable for placing samples, weights, pipettes, or other supplies and lab items.


Adam Equipment’s Nimbus and Eclipse analytical balances deliver outstanding performance, with readability of 0.1mg. An innovative space-saving design results in a compact footprint, so the balance occupies a minimal amount of room in the lab but retains the highest level of performance. These balances provide intuitive operation, making them a time-saving addition to any lab testing environment.


Certified to OIML and ASTM standards, Adam Equipment’s calibration weights are available separately or in sets, and are used to calibrate high-precision analytical balances that need to satisfy certain traceability requirements.


Adam DU software connects the balance to the laboratory network, helping to achieve seamless data collection, transfer and analysis. DU features an easy-to-use interface with a main command window, allowing users to quickly collect information from multiple Adam balances simultaneously using RS-232 or USB connections.

New Moisture Analysers Introduced


Ohaus has further expanded its moisture analysis portfolio with the introduction of the new MB120 and MB90 which are geared to increase efficiency and precision in the lab. Easy to operate and clean, the new MBs enable users to test more samples in less time.


The MB120’s advanced functionality makes it ideal for professional moisture analysis. The instrument is equipped with a Temperature Guide which analyses a sample of a given material to determine the optimum drying temperature and a Method Library which allows users to store up to 100 methods and 1000 total results for statistical analysis of measurements. In addition, three levels of user management are available to set up and lock temperature settings and method parameters with admin access, so users can’t modify the settings – thus ensuring the safety of data.


Both the MB120 and MB90 are equipped with precisely controlled halogen heating which distributes heat evenly over samples and ensures the uniform drying of samples for precise, repeatable results of 0.01% readability. The halogen heating also begins drying samples within seconds and performs up to 40% faster than traditional infrared methods, thereby increasing efficiency. Up to seven shut- off criteria are available to automatically end the test, once moisture loss is no longer detected. Additionally, four drying profiles help to customise heating for specific samples for one-step drying without the risk of sample degradation.


The MB Series also features a patented pan handler and removable parts that allow for easy, tool-free cleaning. The icon-driven menu navigation on the touchscreen display guides users through every step of the operation process so that users can easily operate the equipment without any training. Four mechanical keys – Tare, Start/Stop, Print and On/Off enable one-step operation.


“The robustness and performance of the MB35 and MB45 were unparalleled in the marketplace for over a decade. However, we are extremely proud to introduce the new MB90 and MB120 moisture analysers which combine precise heating and measurement technologies with a multitude of advanced features and functions - and are incredibly easy to use,” said Zbigniew Pobocha, General Manager at Ohaus Europe GmbH.

Routine Testing as Easy as 1,2,3


Many labs are faced with increasing pressure to deliver fast, accurate results. To do this you need to check your equipment at regular intervals. Following a Good Weighing Practice (GWP®) guideline from Mettler Toledo, simplify routine testing by using the following 3 steps: Performance verification - identify risks and consider recommendations; Certified test weights - CarePacs® offer 2 test weights to save time and calibration cost; LabX asset manager - simple user guide to show how and when to test according to your SOP’s.


By using the combination of steps above, you can remove significant costs by eliminating unnecessary testing and optimising users’ productivity.


LabX software enables you to remove manual transcriptions and guarantees consistent documentation - providing traceability for your results.
