Micro Balances

Micro balances represent the highest tier of precision weighing, engineered for applications where measurement accuracy is critical and even the smallest discrepancy carries consequence. With readabilities typically reaching 0.001 mg (0.000001 g), they are the instrument of choice in pharmaceutical research, materials science, trace analysis, and advanced laboratory environments.

MWS supplies a carefully selected range of micro balances from leading manufacturers, combining exceptional measurement performance with the practical features modern laboratories demand. From environmental compensation systems to compliance-ready data outputs, our micro balance solutions are built to support accurate, repeatable results across the most demanding workflows.

Below is a sample of just some of the micro balances we supply. If you are unsure about what you need, or can’t see it below, speak to one of our team of lab specialists who will be happy to help.

Micro Balances FAQs

What are micro balances and what are they used for?

Micro balances are the highest tier of precision weighing instruments, engineered for applications where even the smallest discrepancy carries real consequence. With readabilities typically reaching 0.001 mg (0.000001 g), they’re the instrument of choice in pharmaceutical research, materials science, trace analysis, and other advanced laboratory environments.

How accurate are micro balances compared to other laboratory balances?

Micro balances sit above analytical and semi-micro balances in terms of precision, often measuring to 6 decimal places. This level of accuracy makes them essential wherever mass needs to be determined at the microgram level.

Which manufacturers of micro balances does MWS supply?

MWS supplies a carefully selected range of micro balances from leading manufacturers, including Ohaus, Radwag, and A&D.

What features do MWS micro balances typically include?

Alongside exceptional measurement performance, our micro balance solutions combine practical features that modern laboratories demand, such as environmental compensation systems and compliance-ready data outputs, supporting accurate, repeatable results across demanding workflows.

What industries and applications rely on micro balances?

Micro balances are widely used in pharmaceutical research, materials science, and trace analysis, as well as other advanced laboratory settings where precise, repeatable mass measurement is critical to the outcome.

Does MWS offer installation and calibration for micro balances?

Yes! As a leading weighing equipment manufacturer and supplier, MWS provides supply, installation, and calibration services for micro balances, helping to keep your instrument performing accurately from day one.

Can MWS calibrate micro balances to UKAS standards?

Absolutely! MWS is UKAS accredited for the calibration of weighing scales and laboratory balances, so your micro balance can be calibrated to the highest traceable standards alongside our standard ISO 9001 traceable calibration options.
