The FX1200i from AND Weighing offers 1220g with 0.01 gram readability. This is the NON NTEP version so if you are needing a Class II NTEP Approved Legal for Trade Balance for a Colorado retail marijuana store you need to buy the FX1200iN.
If you require a Legal for Trade electronic balance for your Colorado cannabis dispensary and was told to buy the FX-1200i the correct model is the FX-1200iN. The FX1200i and FX1200iN to most people look exactly the same but they are different. If you purchase the FX1200i and think you can fool the Weights & Measures Inspector it is a very slim shot. The Legal for Trade version FX-1200iN cost slightly more money since there is a special sealing plate, sealing screws and marking that the balance is NTEP Approved. The FX-1200iN can be sealed by threading a wire security seal through two screws on the RS-232 serial interface plate and scale housing. This prevents access to the calibration switch inside the device which is required to meet the requirements for a Legal for Trade weighing device. Watch this You Tube Video to understand the difference between the FX-1200i (NON-NTEP) and FX-1200iN (NTEP Approved).
A&D has build an amazing low cost magnetic force restoration balance that performs lightening fast using their Super Hybrid Sensor technology. This patented weigh cell provides quick stabilization speed with accurate weighing result in 1 second resulting in better productivity. The compact size and small footprint is something no other competitor brand can offer.
The vacuum fluorescent display enables easy-to-read weighing results even in poor lighting conditions.
The FXi Series comes standard with RS-232C interface for bi-directional communication with a PC, printer or other peripheral devices. When purchased with the optional AD-8121B printer you'll be GLP/GMP/GCP/ISO Compliant. In accordance with GLP and LIMS regulations, the balance ID number and calibration data can be printed out using AND Weighing AD-8121B or a PC. There is an optional FXi-02 USB Interface, but it is only uni-directional. Most people want bi-directional so they can send and received data from the balance. When the FXi-02 USB Interface is installed you must remove the RS-232C interface.
An optional FXi-11 large breeze is available if you are weighing in an environment that is less than ideal to prevent air currents from causing the balance pan from moving, which results in fluctuating readings. By protecting the balance weighing platform with a draft shield a stable constant mass reading can be observed. This shatterproof breeze break has an antistatic coating and can be opened from the right and left side and also through the top.
The FX-i meets EMC regulations and is immune to the effects of electromagnetic fields of up to 10V/m
All FX-i balances are backed with a 5 years manufacturer warranty making it the longest manufacturer warranty in the industry for a high quality lab balance.

The new A&D FX/i series precision balances come in several weighing capacities to accommodate your specific weighing needs. Choose between 0.01 gram or 0.001 gram increments. New FXi Precision scales with milligram resolutions include a small breeze break for precise weighing. Get accurate weighing results with the latest precision scale from A&D!
In the youtube video above we show you the FXi-10 small breeze break and the FXi-11 large breeze break. The draft shield prevents air currents from causing the weighing pan disturbances, which results in fluctuating unstable readings. By protecting the balance's weighing platform with a draftshield a constant weight reading can be observed.
The FXi-10 small breeze break comes standard with the FX/FZi milligram balances(0.001 gram) and can be upgraded by purchasing the optional FXi-11 large breeze break. The FX/FZi precision balances (those that increment in 0.01 gram divisions) do not come with any windshield, but can be purchased with either optional accessory FXi-10 small breeze break or FXi-11 large breeze break.
In the video above we show you the excellent eccentric loading characteristics of the Sartorius Entris Balances. See as a calibration weight is placed in the center of 4 quadrants on the platform how the Sartorius Entris measures the weight accurately. Not all digital balances weigh accurately and if you own a laboratory balance other than Sartorius we doubt it compares to the Sartorius Entris. If you own an older Sartorius balance or someone tries to give you a deal on a used or discontinued Sartorius balance just forget it and buy the Entris.
To test eccentric loading we place a weight on the center of the weighing platform and record the weight. Now place the same item in 45-degree directions (front left, front right, rear right, and rear left) and compared to the measurement at the center. Compare the weighing results and if you have eccentric errors it just might be time to retire that balance and purchase a new Sartorius Entris.
In the video above we offer a general overview of the Sartorius Entris precision lab balance. We highlight the features, functions and operation of the Sartorius Entris precision balance. See some of the available accessories for the Sartorius Entris like the optional data printer, RS232 cable, calibration weights and weighing below hook.
