Laboratory balances are used in research, quality control, and industry to measure mass accurately.
Analytical balances measure very small quantities, down to 0.0001 grams, while precision balances generally measure down to 0.001 grams.
Analytical balances are common in chemistry and pharmaceuticals because they need high accuracy. They have a shield to block air movement that could affect results.These balances are very sensitive and need regular calibration in a stable environment. Precision balances are less sensitive but can handle bigger samples. They are used for sample preparation and general lab work, offering quick and steady readings.
Choosing the right balance depends on how accurate you need to be and the sample size!
