Description
The Sartorius MC-5 Micro Balance is a highly sensitive instrument used to measure extremely small masses. It has been specifically designed to be used in applications where even minute mass variations matter, such as pharmaceutical analysis, materials science and calibration work. The balance is composed of two main parts – a weighing unit and a separate control/display unit. This helps to protect the sample from heat and vibration interference from the control unit, ensuring more accurate results. To further protect the sample from environmental disturbances, the MC-5 comes complete with a draught shield.
Specifications of the MC-5 include a maximum capacity of 5.1 g, and a readability of 1 ug, allowing for measurements at microgram levels. Typical response time for the balance is around 10 seconds, but activating IQ mode reduces it to approximately 2.5 seconds. The instrument features a user-friendly control panel with mechanical keys that enable straightforward navigation, along with a bright backlit display for clear viewing of results. To provide a controlled environment, the weighing pan has a diameter of 3 cm, while the compact weighing chamber measures approximately 4.8 × 12 cm. You can open or close the motorised draft shield using the control panel or manually, offering flexibility during operation, while helping to minimise environmental interference.
