Guide: How to minimize the effects of air convection and improve repeatability?

The XPR analytical balance is a class-leading top-loading balance equipped with groundbreaking technology that delivers reliable, regulatory-compliant results.

The XPR analytical balance series from Mettler Toledo significantly improves operability with its large 7-inch touchscreen display and ensures the reliability of weighing data through quality management and user management features. We offer balance models with excellent repeatability for samples ranging from small quantities up to 5 kg. By adopting the unique and innovative special-shaped weighing pan, SmartPan, we have improved repeatability characteristics and stabilization time by up to 50% compared to conventional models, providing unprecedented weighing performance. SmartPan has a very strong characteristic against air convection around the balance, demonstrating excellent stability and repeatability. It is particularly effective for use in drafts or safety cabinets. Additionally, with quality management features such as StatusLight, it is suitable for use in regulated environments.
