Since the beginning Ohaus has been dedicated to doing one thing and one thing
only: creating incredibly accurate, exceedingly innovative, high precision lab
balances. The new Ohaus Discovery DV215CD is their pinnacle achievement
to many weighing experts like ourselves at Precision Weighing Balances.
The Ohaus DV215CD Professional Analytical Balances features a 0.01mg semi-micro
dual range weighing which automatically selects ultra fine 0.01 mg resolution
in the 0 - 81g range. When you weigh from 81g - 210 grams the readability
drops to 0.1mg.
Ohaus Discovery Analytical Balances offer high performance semi-micro balances
great for professionals in university research, pharmaceutical research and drug
discovery, as well as general lab applications. Application modes for Ohaus
Analyticals include: density determination, statistics, pipette calibration, percent
weighing, parts counting, check weighing, animal / dynamic weighing, totalization,
and finding high point weighing results from a batch. Ohaus analytical balances
are optimized with smarText software which making Ohaus Discovery Analyzing balances
reliable and easy-to-use.
Discovery Scientific Research Balances are equipped with Advanced AutoCal, an
automatic internal calibration system using 2 internal weights performing linear
calibration to ensure accurate weighing even after temperature changes capable
of affecting precision weighing results.
Ohaus analytical balances contain features making it superior over competitive
scales in its class. Discovery high precision balances can compensate for
vibrations and disturbances you may have in harsh environments. Weigh-Below
Hooks allow density determination or calculations involving specific gravity of
weighing samples. Up-Front level indicators on the Ohaus Discovery Micro
Balance allow you to easily determine if the analytical balance is level, eliminating
the need to look behind the analyzing balance during the leveling process.
Select from 4 Ohaus Discovery Semi Micro Analytical Balances with different capacities
and readabilities (dual range 81 g x 0.01 mg & 210 g x 0.1 mg, 110
g x 0.1 mg, 210 g x 0.1 mg.
or 310 g x 0.1 mg).
Choose the right Discovery Analytical Balance for your weighing applications.

Ohaus Discovery Analytical balances offer semi micro weighing precision, and modern ergonomic design. Ohaus´ combination of weighing performance, ease of use, and advanced applications make the Discovery line ideal for a broad range of uses from basic weighing, to more advanced applications such as parts counting, pipette calibration, density determination, statistical analysis, percent weighing and dynamic weighing.
Ohaus Semi-Micro Balance's Application Modes:
Statistics: Statistics are used when it is desired to compare a number of samples
and examine the relative deviation of the samples along with other
statistical data. A minimum of three samples are required in this
program. Statistics contains menu options which include: number of
samples, maximum, minimum, difference, sum, mean, standard
deviation, relative deviation, auto sample, and auto print.
In addition to standard weighing, statistical data can be provided for
Animal/Dynamic Weighing and Checkweighing measurements.
Density: Discovery provides users with four methods of density determination
to choose from depending on their need.
They are:
1. User can determine density for solids more dense than water
2. User can determine density for solids less dense than water
3. User can determine density for liquid density
(sinker needed – not included)
4. User can determine density for Porous material
(impregnated with oil).
After entering a couple of parameters into the balance, the built in
density table, and mass measurement of the balance take over to
provide rapid and accurate density results, with no manual
calculations needed.
Pipette Calibration: Pipette calibration checks the accuracy and precision values of
pipettes by weight analysis. The Discovery DV215CD 0.01mg semi micro
balance is recommended for maximum accuracy. To calibrate a
pipette, the user will select the type of liquid to be used in the
pipette (normally water), barometric pressure, nominal value, and unit
of measure of the pipette. The balance will do the rest. The Discovery
will accept an alternate liquid’s density in g/cc at current room
temperature as well.
Percent Weighing: This mode allows the user to display the weight of a sample as
a percentage of a reference weight useful in sieving applications,
reagent weighing, moisture determination, and other types of
ingredient mixing.
Parts Counting: Parts counting mode is useful when counting pills, or parts
that have a consistent, but low nominal mass. This mode
allows the user to count based on a calculated piece weight.
The optimization feature improves counting accuracy by
automatically re-calculating the piece weight as parts are added.
Check Weighing: This mode allows the user to check the weight of a sample
against preset target parameters such as underweight and
overweight.
Animal/Dynamic Weighing: Dynamic weighing can be used when either a rough environment
is encountered such as on a ship, or when in a location that may not have ideal conditions. In addition, this mode allows the
user to weigh moving objects such as animals, insects or other
moving specimens. Dynamic weighing averages out weight
readings over a period of time and displays the results until
cleared.
Totalization: This mode allows the user to sum a series of sample weights
that can be greater than the capacity of the balance.
Totalization is helpful when adding the masses of several
samples together without the need for a calculator.
High Point:High Point can be used when analyzing batches or lots, or for
quality checking of random samples. When in High Point mode,
the balance will save only the highest weight value from a series
of weighings.
