Lab Equipment & Essentials
The Series Tx analytical balances are the most advanced in the Accuris line. The large, high resolution touch screen presents the user with an icon-based menu system and allows quick and intuitive access to a wide range of useful functions. A precisely engineered Electromagnetic Force Restoration (EFR) weigh cell accurately determines masses to sub milligram levels.
Two models are available in the Tx Series: The W3102A-220 has a max capacity of 220g and readability of 0.1 mg. The W3002A-120 is a semi-micro class balance with a maximum capacity of 120g, and readability of 0.01mg up to 62g.
The Tx internal calibration system helps ensure that the balance is always calibrated and ready for use. Auto calibration can also be set to occur at specific time intervals depending on user preference. A high resolution thermal probe is incorporated in the core of the EFR weigh cell, and if measured temperature fluctuates slightly, the balance will automatically compensate.
A USB port on the side accepts a flash drives for storage of weighing data, which can then be transferred to a computer.
Series Tx models have adjustable feet and a leveling bubble to ensure correct installation. Note: For optimal weighing performance, the Tx semi micro model must be installed on a suitably stable surface such as a marble slab table.
The new AccuCheck System from Accuris Instruments gives your lab the freedom to calibrate pipettes quickly and when required. The system combines our popular Tx touch screen analytical balance with an anti evaporation trap accessory and built-in pipette calibration software. Together, this standalone pipette calibration system is easy for any lab tech to use for the ISO 8655 method of pipette calibration.
The user interface of the AccuCheck™ software is intuitive and requires no special training to use. Individual pipette details (brand, model, serial number) can be saved in the internal data base for current and future calibrations. The software walks the user through all steps of the gravimetric method, allows input of water temp, air temp, pressure, and humidity. It saves the weight values, and then performs all calculations for accuracy and precision at 3 volume settings. The Anti Evaporation Trap greatly improves results when performing the gravimetric method by preventing unstable measurements due to evaporation loss.
Removing the Anti Evaporation Trap allows the Tx Semi-Micro balance to be used for general weighing applications. Offering a maximum capacity of 120g, readability of 62gx0.01mg / 120gx0.1mg, and automatic internal calibration, the Tx balance is a favorite for labs needing fast and accurate weight determinations.
