Ohaus PX323/E Toploading Balance 320g Capacity 0.001g Readability

Description

Product Overview

The Ohaus PX323/E is a precision-engineered toploading laboratory balance designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern scientific work. With a maximum capacity of 320 g and a readability of 0.001 g, this instrument delivers the fine resolution needed for accurate weighing in chemistry, biology, material science, and quality‑control environments. The balance features a robust metal base that provides stability and vibration resistance, while the removable stainless‑steel pan offers easy cleaning and quick sample changes. A clear 2‑line LCD with backlight ensures that readings are visible under a variety of lighting conditions, reducing the risk of user error.

Construction details include a glass draft shield that protects the weighing area from air currents, an integrated weigh‑below hook for hanging samples, and a security bracket that prevents unauthorized removal of the instrument. The calibration lock mechanism safeguards the internal calibration standard, guaranteeing repeatable performance over time. Power is supplied via an AC adapter that is included in the package, eliminating the need for batteries and ensuring continuous operation. The balance also supports multiple units of measurement, including gram, kilogram, milligram, ounce, and carat, allowing users to switch seamlessly between different scientific conventions.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the PX323/E excels in a wide range of laboratory settings.
