An analytical balance measures masses to within 0.0001 g.

Use these balances when you need this high degree of precision. advantages of using this equipment is more precision and accurate weighing but the sample can be weighed are limited to a certain weight according to its scale. typically 0.01 mg - 1000 mg and tools are very sensitive so be careful Don't pick up tare containers with bare hands since your fingerprints add mass. Use Kimwipes or tongs to prevent this. Don't lean on the bench while weighing.

Used especially in the laboratory for taking very precise weight measurements.

leveling screw Screw for adjusting the level of the balances base. pan Flat rigid support on which the specimen is placed. door access Sliding doors that provide easy access to the inside of the glass case. glass case Glass box that protects the pan from air currents and dust that might cause a false reading of the weight. How to use analytial balance
1.

Turn the balance on by pressing the control bar. The display lights up for several seconds. before weighing anything on this analytical balance, it needs to be "tared," or recalibrated to read 0.0000 g. When first turned on, or when

left by the previous user, the balance may indicate something other than 0.0000 g. So..The Tare button needs to be pressed and released to effect this recalibration. we have to wait until the calibration process is complete, as indicated by the appearance of a triangle or circle symbol. Then,,open the sliding glass doors , we can use right or left or above it Then enter the watch glass,as placed of sample. wait a few minutes. If a symbol triangel appearance we must re zero or pressed tare button a gain. If we want not re zero or direcly enter the sample so the weight of sample will be obtained that the total weight of the sample weight + weight of the watch glass watch glass minus the empty weight then enter sample with spatula Carefully add the substance to be weighed up to the desired mass. Do not attempt to reach a particular mass exactly. Close the sliding glass doors. Wait for the symbol has appeared (triangle). This is the stability indicator, indicating that the weight is stable ok weight of the sample obtained press tare button until 0,000000 gain turn of anlytical balance
