CQT Portable Compact Balances For basic sample preparation, the Core is compact and easy to use. No other comparable laboratory balance rivals the Core® for value and features. The ABS housing withstands field and laboratory environments, and the stainless steel pan is removable, making it simple to clean. ShockProtect® safeguards the load cell, so it can handle overloads without damage. To help prevent theft, a built-in security slot accommodates an optional Kensington-type lock and cable. Portability is not an issue with the Core, as the balance operates by battery or AC adapter. A convenient weigh-below hook facilitates below-balance weighing for density and specific gravity measurements. Capacity : 200g - 5000g Readability : 0.01g -1g Rugged construction stands up to industrial use. Shock protection prevent overloading. Auto power off to save energy
