With the new LE26P, Sartorius has extended its field-proven Expert series of balances all the way into the range of microweighing.
Unique features include an out-of-the-ordinary weighing range structure, with a continuous fine range of up to 5g readable to 2mg and a coarse range of up 21g readable to 10mg.
The LE26P is designed for versatility when it comes to accurate weighing of the smallest sample quantities in heavy sample containers, called for in applications such as ashing and residual weight determination or precise determination of a very small quantity in a large batch of solvent.
Thus the LE26P closes a gap between maximum-resolution microbalances and semi-microbalances.
The principle field of use for the new LE26P is in the pharmaceutical industry.
For quantitative analyses in this sector, high-resolution balances are required for weighing minimum sample quantities of 1 to 30mg.
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) additionally specifies that the minimum sample quantity must be weighed at the place of installation of the balance - exactly where the quantitative analysis will also be carried out.
This ensures that specific influences are taken into account, such as temperature, humidity, mechanical vibration, air supply and other factors.
The new LE26P is designed specially with these USP requirements in mind.
The generously dimensioned weighing pan, with a 50mm diameter, facilitates positioning of even large sample containers.
Ample space around the weighing pan permits samples to be placed inside the weighing chamber for conditioning to the interior temperature.
The doors on the large-volume, all-glass draft shield open smoothly for optimum ergonomics and confident handling of the smallest sample quantities, even under poor lighting conditions.
The isoCAL automatic calibration and adjustment function ensures consistently high accuracy and ideal conditions for use of the microbalance in quality management systems.
What's more, the LE26P features the high-grade, attractive design of the Sartorius Expert series, offering value for money that is unbeatable for a microbalance.
Thanks to numerous integrated application programs, including weighing in percent, net-total formulation and dynamic weighing, to name just a few, the LE26P can be adapted to a broad range of requirements.
The mechanical heart of this microbalance, a first in this range of resolution, is the robotically etched monolithic weigh cell patented by Sartorius.
This state-of-the-art technology cell guarantees reliable and exceptionally accurate weighing results.
