Ohaus Portable Balance CR2200 White Toploading Scale 2.2kg

Description

Product Overview

The Ohaus CR2200 portable toploading balance is engineered for accuracy and durability in a compact footprint. With a maximum capacity of 2,200 g and a readability of 1 g, it meets the stringent requirements of modern laboratories, educational settings, and field testing environments. The balance features a sleek white enclosure that not only looks professional but also resists corrosion and wear, extending the product’s service life. Its robust stainless‑steel weighing platform provides a stable surface for a wide variety of sample containers, while the high‑contrast LCD display offers clear, easy‑to‑read results even under bright lighting conditions.

Designed with user convenience in mind, the CR2200 operates on three AA batteries, delivering up to 300 hours of uninterrupted use before replacement is required. This battery‑powered design eliminates the need for external power sources, allowing technicians to move the instrument freely across workstations or into remote testing locations. The balance also includes an automatic calibration function that simplifies setup and ensures consistent performance over time.

Usage

Whether you are conducting chemical analyses, weighing reagents for formulation work, or performing quality‑control checks on manufactured parts, the CR2200 adapts to a broad range of applications. Its compact dimensions (5 × 5 × 4 inches) and lightweight construction (1.1 lb) make it ideal for benchtop placement in crowded labs, as well as for portable use in field investigations where space and power are limited. Educators appreciate the intuitive interface, which allows students to focus on experimental concepts rather than instrument operation.

In addition to standard laboratory tasks, the balance excels in pharmaceutical compounding, food testing, and environmental sampling, where precise mass measurements are critical. The device’s durability ensures reliable operation in high‑traffic environments, and its battery‑powered capability means it can be used in locations without immediate access to mains electricity, such as outdoor research stations or temporary testing setups.

FAQ

What type of batteries does the CR2200 use and how long do they last?

The balance uses three standard AA batteries, which are included in the package. Under typical laboratory usage, the batteries can power the instrument for up to 300 hours before a replacement is needed.

Can the CR2200 be used for weighing liquids?

Yes. The balance’s sturdy platform and high readability make it suitable for weighing both solid samples and liquid containers, provided the total mass does not exceed the 2,200 g capacity.

Is calibration required before each use?

The CR2200 features an automatic internal calibration routine that runs each time the device is powered on. For critical applications, users may perform a manual calibration using standard weights to verify accuracy.

How does the balance handle temperature variations?

Ohaus designed the CR2200 with temperature‑compensated circuitry that maintains measurement stability across typical laboratory temperature ranges (15 °C to 30 °C). Extreme temperature fluctuations should be avoided to preserve accuracy.

What warranty coverage is provided?

The balance comes with a standard one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Extended warranty options are available through Ohaus authorized distributors.
