UP Series Top-loading Balance

Description

The Shimadzu UP Series comprises a line of top-loading balances designed for general laboratory use. These instruments are available with various capacities, ranging from 220 grams to 1020 grams, and offer selectable minimum display increments of either 0.01g or 0.1g depending on the specific model. A key operational feature is the fast response time, which is approximately 0.6 to 1.0 seconds, contributing to efficient weighing workflows. The balances utilize a UniBloc sensor construction, which is noted for its impact resistance and ability to deliver consistent performance over extended periods. The housing is constructed from aluminum die-cast, providing durability and resistance to chemical exposure and corrosion. Standard functions include piece counting and a backlit LCD screen for clear readouts. For data handling, the balance can interface with software to transfer weighing results directly to applications like Excel. An optional STABLO-AP ionizer accessory is available to mitigate the effects of static electricity, which can be critical for obtaining reliable measurements with fine powders or in low-humidity environments. The specified linearity for these models is typically ±0.002g or ±0.003g.
