This laboratory balance weighs to a readability of 0.001g (1mg) and comes in 100g, 200g and 300g capacity versions, model codes YP1003Q, YP2003Q and YP3003Q. It has a backlit LCD, a 90mm diameter pan with a clear plastic draft shield, and a stabilisation time of 1.5 seconds, so it suits bench weighing where small masses matter.
Features and benefits:
- Readability of 0.001g with repeatability of ±0.002g: small samples, powders and additives can be weighed to the milligram
- Three capacities, 100g, 200g or 300g: pick the range that matches your typical load
- Backlit LCD display: figures stay easy to read in a dim lab or workshop
- Clear plastic draft shield over the pan: cuts the effect of air movement on the reading
- Four adjustable feet with a built-in bubble level: set the balance level on an uneven bench
- Checking weighing and piece counting functions: quick pass or fail weighing and counting of small identical parts
- Overload protection, full capacity subtraction and a below balance weighing facility: practical on a busy bench
Applications:
- Weighing samples and reagents in school and college laboratories
- Batching small quantities for cosmetics and food preparation
- Brewing and flavouring additions
- Counting small identical parts such as screws, washers and beads in a workshop
In the box:
The balance is shown packed in foam inside a cardboard box, and the box contents picture shows printed instructions and an accessory set. A set of reference weights in a wooden case is shown in one picture; confirm exactly what is included before ordering. An RS232C interface and an under hook are listed as options.
Note: Place the balance on a firm, level surface away from draughts and vibration, and level it with the feet and bubble level before use. Do not load it above its stated capacity.

Battery: Not included. Q: What is an analytical balance? A: An analytical balance is a precision weighing instrument that reads very small masses, usually down to the milligram or finer. This model reads to 0.001g (1mg) and is sold as a laboratory balance in 100g, 200g and 300g versions.. Q: How does an analytical balance work? A: A load cell under the pan converts the weight of the sample into an electrical signal, which the electronics turn into a number on the display. A draft shield keeps air movement from disturbing the reading.. Q: How do I use this balance? A: Level it with the feet and bubble level, switch it on, then press the tare button with the empty pan or container in place. Add the sample and read the weight once the display settles, which takes about 1.5 seconds.. Q: How do I set up a laboratory balance for accurate readings? A: Set it on a firm, level bench, level it with the feet and bubble level, and let it settle before use. A reference mass suited to your model's capacity can be placed on the pan using the CAL button, as set out in the instruction sheet.. Q: Which capacity should I choose, 100g, 200g or 300g? A: All three read to 0.001g, so choose by the heaviest load you expect to weigh. The 100g model suits the smallest samples and the 300g model gives the most headroom..
