Product Overview

The Ohaus Scout Pro Portable Electronic Balance is engineered for precision and durability in demanding laboratory environments. With a maximum capacity of 200 g and a readability of 0.01 g, it delivers reliable measurements for a wide range of scientific applications, from chemistry titrations to material testing. The balance features a robust stainless‑steel weighing pan measuring 12 cm in diameter, providing a corrosion‑resistant surface that maintains accuracy over years of use. Its high‑contrast LCD displays results in four weighing units—grams, ounces, pounds, and carats—allowing users to switch seamlessly between metric and imperial systems. Powered by four standard AA batteries or the included AC adapter, the Scout Pro offers the flexibility to operate on a bench or be taken on‑site for field measurements. The compact footprint (8.82 x 7.95 x 2.13 inches) and lightweight design (3.15 lb) make it easy to transport without sacrificing stability, while integrated transportation and software locks protect the instrument from shock and overload during movement.
