This new family of semi-micro and analytical balances offers precision weighing with semi-micro performance specifications that are two times better than most other balances in its class
Ohaus announces the launch of the Discovery series of semi-micro and analytical balances.
Designed for applications that require precise measurement, the Discovery will perform beyond expectations and prove to be one of the most accurate and reliable tools available for university research, pharmaceutical research, drug discovery, and general lab applications says the company.
This new family of semi-micro and analytical balances offers precision weighing with semi-micro performance specifications that are two times better than most other balances in its class.
The Discovery, which features Ohaus's SmarText software, is not only extremely easy to use, but with the introduction of Advanced AutoCal, it is extremely reliable as well.
Highest performance.
The Ohaus Discovery is available in four analytical models with a FineRange model featuring semi-micro readability.
Discovery's repeatability and linearity performance is twice as advanced as most 10microgram balances in its class.
For added balance stability and accuracy, the Discovery's glass and steel construction resists the effects of static.
Its corrosion resistance helps extend the product's life to provide years of reliable service.
SmarText software guides users through balance use.
The Ohaus Discovery series is designed to offer simple operation and functionality by utilising Ohaus's intuitive SmarText software, first introduced to the market in the Ohaus Adventurer Pro.
SmarText is easy-to-use balance software that utilises text prompts to guide users through balance setup and application use.
Delivered through a two-line backlit LCD and clearly marked buttons, SmarText tells you what is going on and what you have to do next.
Advanced AutoCal automatic internal calibration.
All Discovery models feature Ohaus's AutoCal internal calibration system, which helps to ensure accurate weighing by automatically calibrating the balance when it senses a temperature change significant enough to affect the weighing accuracy.
To minimise weighing errors, AutoCal utilises two internal calibration weights to perform a linear calibration.
Furthermore, AutoCal helps to keep Discovery accurate without the need for external weights.
The Ohaus Discovery is described as the perfect combination of performance and value.
Its features include multiple application modes - statistics, density determination, pipette calibration, percent weighing, dynamic weighing, check weighing, high point, parts counting, totalisation, and gross/net/tare weighing.
RS232 interface with GLP data output - connect to a PC or a printer and record GLP/GMP data including date, time, balance ID, user ID, project ID and reference data.
Environmental settings - user selectable filter settings to compensate for vibrations and other disturbances.
Up front level indicator - ensure that the balance is level with a quick view of the up front level indicator and eliminate the need to look behind the balance during the leveling process.
Other standard features and equipment.
Discovery also features a stainless steel weighing platform, integral weigh-below hook for density or specific gravity determination, in-use cover, stability indicator, mechanical and software overload/underload protection, AC adapter, user selectable span calibration points, auto tare, multiple weighing units, user selectable printing options, user selectable communications settings, user selectable data print options, user definable project and user IDs, software reset menu, and a software lockout menu.
