All Pioneer Plus Balances models use a magnetic force restoration weigh sensor, not a cheap strain gauge that is prone to drifting with the numbers on the display moving even though you added nothing to the weighing platform. We get so many calls from end users saying they purchased some no name brand made and they hate their balance since it is a strain gauge. If you don't understand then watch this video HERE demonstrating a magnetic force restoration balance verses strain gauge scale.

The new Ohaus Pioneer Pro Series features a red overlay keypad display and bright backlit LCD display provides ample lighting, making the display very easy-to-view in laboratories with dim lighting. The predecessor model, Ohaus PA313, had a blue overlay and no backlight display. The spirit bubble is located to the right of the weighing display so you can verify at a quick glance that your balance is level for optimum accuracy. The Ohaus Pioneer Pro Series now features the "Density Determination" weigh function. These great new upgrades we believe will increase the demand even more for this basic entry level milligram balance.
On the rear of the balance you'll find a built-in RS232 allows connection to an Ohaus SF40A impact printer or a computer. Sends Balance ID plus spaces for recording User ID, Project ID, time and date.
Integral security bracket allows you to secure your balance to a workstation to prevent unwarranted movement or theft

The Pioneer Pro balance is now equipped with a weigh below hook for weighing below the balance. Before turning the balance over, remove the pan and draft shield elements to prevent damage. The black removable protective cover is the weigh below underhook opening. To use this feature, remove power from the balance, then remove the protective cover for the weigh below opening. The balance can be supported using lab jacks or any other convenient method. Ensure the balance is level and secure. Power on the balance, then use a string or wire to attach items to be weighed. Below weighing is used for weighing magnetic materials, large samples that won't fix on the weighing platform or extremely hot or cold sample that would effect the balance's electronics if placed directly on the weighing platform due to thermal heat/cold transfer. Additional applications would be specific gravity determination.
An OPTIONAL PAD7 Auxiliary Display Kit for Pioneer is available. This secondary display can be useful in science and chemistry classroom setting allowing students to see the weight display without being direct over the balance looking at the display. This second display plugs into the RS-232 port on the rear of the balance.
Sartorius Secura Laboratory Balance offer advanced weighing features compliant with the USP minimum sample weight requirements. The balance's display indicates when the minimum sample weight is below the required minimum weight limit.
Secura guarantees high reliability and security in regulated areas for the most common weighing ranges. Quintix is convenience in operation, calibration and data transfer. Even Practum features weighing technology at the highest quality level.
Before you make your final decision be sure to see the Sartorius Entris423-1S or 623-1S milligram balances. The Entris is made in Germany and production will soon be moved to Sartorius' manufacturing facility in Colorado. Watch the video above on the Sartorius Entris Milligram Balance and how easy calibration is when you purchase the optional calibration mass. The Sartorius Entris 3 decimal place balances offer a circular draftshield that you load from the top. See the quick settling time as we place calibration weights on the weighing platform.
The A&D FZ500i is an amazing milligram balance that is back with a much longer warranty than the Ohaus PA523C. 5 years verses Ohaus is only 2 years. Plus the A&D offers a smaller footprint saving you valuable lab space. In addition, if you are weighing in a hostile environment that is extremely dusty or wet AND Weighing is one of the few balance manufacturers in the world that offers an IP65 rated dust and water resistent milligram balance.
If you are a jeweler or pawnshop buying and selling gold, platinum, palladium or rhodium the PA523 is NOT legal for trade and you will run into a lot of trouble with weights and measures and possibly hefty fines. Don't take chances of being in violation. Instead purchase the A&D FX300iN legal for trade balance with 320 grams weighing capacity that displays to 0.001 grams division and the verification scale division of 0.01 grams. The FX300iN would also comply with pharmacies requiring a Class "A" prescription scale to maintain their pharmacy license when the requirements are a weighing device with a minimum tolerance of 0.1 grains or 6 milligrams.
