DescriptionFactors affecting weighing accuracy can negatively influence the results of a whole analysis, such that it is important to be aware of the rules that need to be followed when working with laboratory balances. Weighing is one of the most common, yet critical and time consuming, tasks undertaken in the laboratory; therefore, weighing the right way is crucial. Balances have developed to the point that, in general, they provide accurate results in most lab environments, with the possible exception of ultra-micro balances.
Technological advances in electronics have considerably simplified the operation of balances, reducing weighing times. Moreover, the touchscreen digital display makes operation of the balance intuitive.
