OHAUS Adventurer semi-microbalance
The OHAUS Adventurer semi-microbalance has been specially developed for high-precision measurements in the professional laboratory environment. Thanks to its wide range of functions and user-friendly touchscreen interface, it simplifies routine procedures and delivers reliable results. Compared to other devices in its class, it impresses with a robust design, automatic adjustment and intuitive user management that meets GLP/GMP requirements. This makes the balance particularly suitable for laboratories, educational institutions and industrial applications where accurate and reproducible weighing results are essential.
Versatile functions for precise weighing
This model is an ideal combination of innovative technologies and practical handling. Whether for the daily analysis of samples, the creation of complex recipes or density determination - the integrated applications cover a wide range of professional applications. The large stainless steel weighing plate and the extensive draft shield ensure reliable measurement results, even in environments with increased draughts.
The device is operated via a color 4.3-inch touchscreen with adjustable brightness, which enables quick navigation through the various menu levels. The high readability of up to 0.01 mg (depending on the model) is particularly useful, allowing the smallest masses to be determined precisely. In addition, a three-level user management system provides the necessary security to protect sensitive data and ensure the traceability of weighing processes.
Technical highlights at a glance
- Maximum load (depending on model): Up to 102 g/220 g
- Readability: Up to 0.01 mg (0.00001 g)
- Automatic internal adjustment (AutoCal)
- Robust glass draft shield for interference-free results
- Multiple connection options (USB host, USB device, RS-232)
- Quick start function for rapid commissioning
- Short stabilization time of only 8 seconds
In addition, all variants have a repeatable accuracy - for example 0.00002 g at medium capacity - and a linear deviation of just ±0.1 mg. This means that the balance supports a wide range of applications, from routine measurements to complex research projects.
In addition to the integrated safety cover, an underfloor weighing hook is built in to carry out density determinations or special measurements with freely suspended samples. The scale is also OIML-compliant (depending on the model), which makes it ideal for legal-for-trade measurements. The embedded AutoCal principle monitors any display deviation and makes automatic corrections if necessary to keep the balance in the optimum calibration state at all times.
Certifications and standards
Some model variants of the Adventurer series meet OIML requirements, which enables legally compliant use in certain regions. This laboratory balance is also designed for GLP/GMP compliance and enables complete documentation of all relevant measurement data. The robust platform, combined with the sophisticated draft shield, contributes to compliance with these standards as external influences are minimized.
Concrete application examples
- Formulation analysis in pharmaceutical development: thanks to the extremely fine readability, active ingredients can be precisely dosed
- Quality control in the chemical and cosmetics industry: For cleaning substances such as acetone or test substances such as potassium permanganate, these precise scales are ideal for verifying the smallest quantities.
- Academic research and teaching: Universities or universities of applied sciences benefit from the intuitive handling in the practical laboratory, whether for analytical experiments or training purposes.
- Food analysis: The robust mechanics also make the balance interesting for light industrial areas, for example for the precise weighing of flavors or preservatives in small batches.
Frequently asked questions
How does the device calibrate itself automatically?
The Adventurer scale features the AutoCal system, which automatically performs an internal adjustment in the event of temperature fluctuations or prolonged periods of non-use, thereby ensuring a precise measurement at all times.
Can the scale be used in high humidity?
The operating temperature is between 10 and 30 °C at a maximum of 80% relative, non-condensing humidity. This range ensures stable and safe operation in most laboratory and production environments.
Which interfaces are available
USB host, USB device and RS-232 interfaces are integrated as standard. This makes it easy to connect the scale to existing data systems or connect it to various peripheral devices.
Is an ionizer available?
No, these models do not have a built-in ionizer. However, an external ionizer can be useful as an accessory in certain constellations to reduce electrostatic charges on particularly light samples.
Is the balance easy to clean?
Thanks to the stainless steel weighing plate and the protective cover, surface contamination can be easily removed. For more thorough cleaning, the draft shield can be carefully removed and cleaned separately.
Conclusion
The compact design, short stabilization time and precise results make this balance an efficient tool for demanding applications in the laboratory, in research and in industrial areas. Users benefit from the high readability, simple menu navigation and automatic internal adjustment. Thanks to its robust design and the wide range of connection options, measurements can be quickly documented and utilized. This makes this series suitable for anyone who needs a powerful, reliable and versatile semi-microbalance.
