Analytical balances are the most used balances in a laboratory. They have a maximum weighing capacity between 60 g and 520 g, coming with a readability of 0.1 mg they are commonly used for weighing small samples. Sometimes lab balances with a readability of 0.01 mg or 10 µg are also called analytical balances. To meet the requirements of your specific application, specially designed weighing pans, sample holders, and software applications are available to simplify your weighing processes and lab workflows.

An analytical balance is more accurate than a precision balance. An analytical balance comes with a readability of 0.1 mg or 0.0001 g, whereas a precision balance typically has readability of ≥1 mg or ≥0.001 g. So an analytical balance has at least a 10-times higher readability compared to a precision balance.
