Intelligent Performance for Applications Requiring Extreme Accuracy
The Ohaus Explorer series of semi-micro balances is made up of balances with capacities ranging from 52 g – 220 g and readabilities from 0.1 mg – 0.01 mg. In addition to superior craftsmanship and a High-Speed single-module weighing cell, the product line boasts numerous other features to enhance design and performance. Read about the features of the Ohaus semi-micro balance below.
Internal Calibration: Ohaus’ signature AutoCal™ internal calibration system provides routine maintenance by automatically calibrating the balance every time it senses a temperature change of 1.5°C or every 3 hours, whichever occurs first.
This helps ensure the accuracy of the balance when the operator has not performed a manual calibration or when the proper calibration masses are unavailable. In addition, to minimize weighing errors and ensure accurate measurements, AutoCal™ utilizes two internal weights to perform a linear calibration.
Efficiency: Explorer’s ultra-fast stabilization time (0.1 mg: ≤3 second, 0.01 mg: ≤8 second) and audible stability alert increases laboratory efficiency.
Intuitive Software: Explorer semi-micro balances include many facets of modern technology to
provide the best weighing experience possible. The icon-based navigation
provides tactile feedback and operates in the same manner as a smartphone or tablet.
Save to USB: A USB host port provides the capability of using a USB extension cable to
directly transfer the data to a flash drive.
Memory: The balance’s memory capabilities include a library with space for up to 99
items, and a 10-recipe library for formulation mode.
Multi-User: The user manager function provides profiles for one administrator and five additional users, allowing multiple users to utilize the same balance without compromising past results recorded on the balance.
Technology: The latest technology in the Ohaus Explorer semi-micro balances includes a below minimum sample weight indicator, real-time clock for GLP/GMP data collection, audible stability alert, and true type printing for SQC and pipette adjustment.
Ingenious Construction Designed to Enhance Usability: The sleek Explorer semi-micro balance has been designed and constructed to provide a modern weighing experience as well as to bolster accuracy.
Operator Experience: You’ll enjoy a color touchscreen display, four programmable touchless sensors that allow the operator to perform common functions and commands with a swipe of the hand, and a modular design in which the base and display can be separated to allow the balance to fit ideally on the lab bench.
Auto-Doors: The automatic door feature, available on certain models, allows access to the weighing chamber without the need to touch the draftshield door. Placement of samples is achieved in one swift motion, eliminating the repetition of picking up and putting down samples due to a lack of free hands. The automatic doors are also more than a user-friendly feature; they minimize vibrations caused by manual operation that can affect weighing results.
Ionizer: The built-in ionizer, included in Explorer automatic door models, generates bipolar ions continuously from positive and negative discharge electrodes and directs the ionized air onto the charged body to eliminate static electricity. These charges can build up in the weighing chamber and alter weighing results by as much as several milligrams.
