Mettler-Toledo XPE Precision Balance

Mettler-Toledo’s stable, durable and easy-to-clean XPE Precision Balance offers good repeatability when weighing minute forces without use of a draft shield.

The star-shaped SmartPan weighing pan, which is integrated into the balance, fosters repeatability at resolutions down to 1 mg while delivering results up to twice as fast as a comparable balance using a draft shield. Elimination of the draft shield makes weigh-in quicker and easier. This serves to enhance lab productivity and help operators to have a more comfortable weighing process.

The weighing pan design is said to maintain a faster-than-average settling time inside a fume hood, where continuous drafts are used to eliminate the danger posed by airborne gas or other toxins. Under these subtly more difficult conditions, XPE Precision 5 and 10 mg models in particular continue to deliver results up to twice as fast, with the balance’s two-fold improvement in repeatability, without resorting to draft shield use.
