Compare all the features and specifications and you'll have a hard time to matching
the value the Sartorius GCA2502 provides to meet your weighing needs and the deep
discount prices we offer. Can't decide what to buy?
We can help you decide very fast by offering you 500 grams weighing capacity with
1 milligram readability. Call the other guys and see what they want for 500g
x 1mg and we doubt it will be anything near the Sartorius GCA2502. Plus the Sartorius GCA2502 comes with the motorized internal calibration.
Just press the CAL button and the internal weight calibrates your GCA2502 for consistent accuracy. If you forget to calibrate the balance don't worry the isoCal allows the balance to be preset to perform calibration automatically or prompts user to calibrate, plus it monitors adjustments through GLP-compliant printouts when purchased with a printer.
The GCA2502 offers a large triangular weighing pan with a 4.3" diameter, and a high quality 3 door draftsheild that is removable. Lots of other milligram balances on the market have a cheesy low cost draftshield but the GCA2502 is high quality and it is removable for easy cleaning.
High performance carat scale well suited for office, workshop,
and production applications. Weigh 2500 carats with 0.005 carat readability
or 15 other weighing modes like 500 grams with 1 milligram readability. Standard equipped with the GCA2502 is an RS-232C data interface for
connecting the scale to a PC or printer, removable glass draft shield. This is a beautiful balance made in the USA and
perfect for any lab and a price you can't pass up. Similar to the motto
location, location, location for real estate with the name Sartorius it is synonymous
with quality, Quality, QUALITY.
The GCA2502 is the ultimate milligram balances for the lapidary marketplace.
The GCA2502 has very similar features to the Sartorius
CPA423S but sold for hundreds less. Basically, the gem market place
is extremely price sensitive market sector verses the laboratory marketplace
so Sartorius developed the GCA2502 with a special price to meet the pricing requirements
for the jewelry marketplace. Whether your weighing diamonds or chemical
compounds the GCA2502 weighs from 0 to 2500 carats (0-500 grams) weighing capacity
in 0.005 carats (1 milligram) intervals. Please note the draftshield is shorter in height measuring only 6.37" (from pan to top of glass door). Built-in applications programs include:
mass unit conversion by toggling; tare memory; net total formulation; weighing
in percent; counting (5, 10, 20, 50, 100 pcs); and animal weighing/averaging.
The GCA2502 produces steady readings using the high stability mode and the unique
Sartorius weighing system even if the environmental conditions are not ideal
for precision weighing. The Double Lever System, or DLS, for short based
on its special force transmission design. With this patented system, Sartorius
sets the technological standards for the new millennium. Patented,
this new "small" system is cut from a single block of a special, highly
rugged aluminum alloy using high-speed 21st century milling technology.
The double lever principle offers two decisive advantages: the design in the
area of the pan linkage is highly resistant to mechanical stress and therefore
has exceptionally high mechanical stability, and the system is about half the
size of the monolithic block cell, allowing for a smaller footprint. Like
the monolithic weigh cell, it is cut from a single block of aluminum and no
screw fasteners are needed between functional parts. This keeps the system
less sensitive to fluctuations in temperature, and with fewer parts there is
less chance of failure.

A

can attach a sample using a suspension wire, for example. Common
applications for weighing below the balance includes density determination.
Sartorius recommends to complete the balance with the density kit YDK01 and modify the balance with a higher weighing chamber for more space in
handling the sample.
