Time to Get Level with Your Lab Balance or Analytical Lab Weighing | Article
Author: Sartorius | Last Updated: June 2025
Overview
Analytical weighing plays a crucial role in daily laboratory practices. In basic research, it usually serves as the first step in preparing buffers, media, and reagents. In regulated workflows, weighing is essential for compliance, quality control, and process accuracy, supporting critical measurements such as quantitative analysis, formulation, production monitoring, and calibration to ensure reliable results in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.
Advanced weighing technologies incorporate complicated internal systems to produce accurate results, as many factors can impact a reading. Environmental factors like temperature, airflow, and static effects can prolong measurement stabilization times. It also requires routine calibration and cleaning, which are vital to maintaining balance performance over time. This article focuses on another factor: leveling the balance.
In this editorial article, we will discuss why balance leveling is important, how it is performed, and how balances with automated leveling systems can make a significant difference. It is available in both English and German.
